This is a featured work by artist Kenny Scharf that is part of his signature visual universe, which fuses pop art, surrealism, and mass culture. In , Scharf presents a central figure that could be interpreted as a cosmic creature or an otherworldly character, alluding to a futuristic aesthetic and the influence of science fiction in his work. The piece is notable for its use of bright colors, curved lines and shapes that evoke a sense of movement and dynamism, which is typical of Scharf's style.
The title could be a reference to the popular culture of the time, especially to the character , from the cartoon series , or to the astronaut Orville Wright, one of the pioneers of aviation. This might suggest that the work also plays with the idea of exploration and adventure, recurring themes in Scharf's work. Through this piece, the artist combines humor, color and surrealism to create an image that, while seemingly simple, invites the viewer to a reflection on elements of pop culture, technology and imagination.
The flexible LED tube is safe and environmentally friendly, too! Set the light to the time of day with adjustable brightness.
Each sign is made of a neon flex material, consisting of PVC or Silicon piping with LED lights, that is mounted on a recycled acrylic board. These materials allow to create realistic neon signs, with bright lights and intense color, while being more durable, affordable, and sustainable than traditional neon.
Sustainability is taken seriously thanks to its LED lights which consumes 6 times less energy than traditional lights, lasting up to 100,000 hours. These neon is crafted using recycled materials and 100% recycled packaging, including removing all useless plastic.

Presentation
Kenny Scharf is an American painter who lives in Brooklyn, New York. He received his B.F.A. in 1980 with a major in painting at the School of Visual Arts located in Manhattan, New York City.
Scharf's works consist of painting pop culture icons in a science fiction setting, such as the Flintstones and the Jetsons. He is most well known for his work in the 1980s interdisciplinary art scene.
Kenny Scharf was most known for his work in the East Village, Manhattan art scene of the 1980s, with shows at Fun gallery (1981) and Tony Shafrazi (1984), before seeing his work embraced by museums, such as the Whitney, which selected him for the 1985 Whitney Biennial. It was during this time that he did the cover art for the B-52s' fourth studio album, Bouncing off the Satellites.
Scharf was friends and former roommates with graffiti artist Keith Haring and appears in the documentary "The Universe of Keith Haring". With Keith, Kenny Scharf created the first of his blacklight disco installations called "cosmic closet" in the closet of their Times Square apartment. That project has grown and morphed into its most recent incarnation, "Cosmic Cavern". In 2004, he appeared in The Nomi Song, a documentary about his friend, opera singer Klaus Nomi.
In 2010, Kenny Scharf collaborated with Joe Grillo and Laura Grant of Dearraindrop, an artist collective from Virginia Beach, for a show at The Hole NYC curated by Kathy Grayson. Kenny Scharf has had featured exhibits at the Monterrey Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami Center for the Fine Arts, and the Queens Museum of Art.
