Art Scene West Gallery is pleased to present new pop/surrealism paintings by San Diego artist Mikey Kettinger, with a gallery reception on Saturday, June 18, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Mikey Kettinger’s work has been featured in museums, galleries, and public art exhibitions around the USA and internationally. Mikey Kettinger is a conceptual pop artist (painting, interactive street art) who emphasizes the creation of experiences over objects, and inspiration over decoration. His life experiences have allowed him to travel and live in a wide range of locations, within a variety of cultures. Born in Miami in 1986, Mikey has also lived in Southern California, Chicago, North Carolina, Italia, Utah and Florida. His academic background includes credits from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, University of Denver, Florida State University, and a Masters of Fine Art from Utah State University, where his area of emphasis was Art integrated with and influenced by Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. (S.T.E.M.) This exhibition of thought-provoking works is representative of a fresh energy and excitement in the Solana Beach Design District, where Art Scene West Gallery is promoting local art creation and collaboration.
