Multimedia artist Marcus Kenney has utilized photography, sculpture and painting to create a kind of collagist universe of visual mashups as inscrutable as it is invitational. Totem-like assemblages, text-based 2D work, fur, feathers and sequins all coexist in the Atlanta-based artist’s truly singular galaxy, a Southern-hued place where the commentary on the political and spiritual seem to float together. Kenney has exhibited internationally and been featured in media outlets, including Art in America, New American Paintings and The New York Times.
