KAGAMI, Ken
MIX

Ken Kagami creates distorted portraits by combining Bart Simpson with Sesame Street characters Elmo and Cookie Monster, in a tiny artist's book.
Ken Kagami is known for his brashly humorous and playfully erotic works that involve stuffed toys, exposed genitals and bodily functions. Often merging Pop figures with bizarre, appropriative add-ons or colorful appendages, Kagami challenges contemporary Pop art sensibilities.
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.
Ken Kagami is one half of the duo C&K, alongside COBRA.
