Long before emojis emerged to fill the emotional gap in digital communication, Scharf developed a visual language that infused ancient pictographic languages with pop aesthetics, resulting in exaggerated, evocative forms rendered in a hypersaturated color palette. Having pioneered Street Art in the 1980s alongside Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Scharf has expanded his practice to encompass sculpture, installation, performance and fashion design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEmotional\u003c\/i\u003e showcases more than 120 artworks that are thematically organized by groups of emotions: Anger, Disgust, Fear, Happiness, Sadness and Awe. A noteworthy artwork includes Scharf's new installation, \u003ci\u003eBeach Club\u003c\/i\u003e, a transportive Californian beachside utopia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788857254739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220","brand":"Kenny Scharf,Shai Baitel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52715563843765,"sku":"9788857254739","price":59.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/kenny-scharf-emotional-9788857254739","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
