About the Project 

During his residency with the Mural Arts students, Kenny Scharf, a world-renowned American painter living in Brooklyn, shared his graffiti roots with students, teaching them the art of working with acrylic spray paint. Scharf’s work first came to prominence in the 80s interdisciplinary art scene in New York’s East Village. He is known for paintings that employ surrealistic imagery inspired by television, cartoons, and the club culture he experienced during his youth.
