Welcome to the psychedelic universe of artist @kennyscharf, or as he calls it, his "Cosmic Cavern.“ Scharf’s unique style, which has been described as the aesthetic offspring of the trippy club culture that permeated New York City in the 80s, is now part of the sprawling, contemporary Los Angeles art exhibit ‘Beyond the Streets,’ a premier exhibition of graffiti and other street art. Playboy sits down with Scharf to discover the inspiration behind his career-defining work, and how his passion for environmentalism continues to influence his creativity.
