Although it was hard to find the humor in his work at first, after walking through the multimedia environment I emerged with a sense of his warmth. It conveys a world of sarcastic glamour. He had his nose reshaped, was shot, and made some bleak work - there was a vast dark underside. But he also had his artistic mom - a tiny Czech woman with glasses as thick as her accent - living with him in New York for 20 years. Some of his more impressively drafted illustrations feature curlique calligraphy done by mama warhola. This lighthearted side was emphasized by a roomful of floating mylar balloon pillows filling the room as you exit into the shop. Yippee!!
(three notes to textile designers: vintage string curtains, limegreen fish wallpaper, and screenprinted repeats bigger than Kevin's MA tables)
