Don Ken - '1...2...3... Heart Beats'

This artwork, titled '1...2...3... Heart Beats,' features the iconic Disney character, Donald Duck, positioned behind a drum set. The artist's approach to this composition is notable for its flat rendering, which visually and thematically evokes the spirit of 20th-century pop art.

What sets this piece apart is the juxtaposition of Donald Duck against a background that harks back to the gestural approach of abstract expressionism. This creative choice introduces a fascinating interplay of contrasting elements within the visual vocabulary. Notably, it contrasts textures and establishes a dialogue between well-established art movements, resulting in a wholly new and unique aesthetic environment.
