Ken Kagami – Bartworks 2

Ken Kagami’s work ranges from performances to installations, paintings, drawings, and publications, and is characterised by its simple expression of conflicting ideas. His take on pop culture presents a distortion of relatable materials and objects, and confronts social taboos with a healthy dose of humour. Through a sharp sense of colour, form, and pure ideas, Kagami merges worlds that would naturally never intermingle to create imaginative and bizarre transformations that are also intended to spark a reaction. With Bartworks 2 he adds even more comically distorted portraits of the famous boy character from The Simpsons to an already existing repertoire.
