The Unicorn explorations by Ken Kelleher is a vibrant and playful series that reimagines the classic unicorn through the lens of pop culture and consumerism. These sculptures and digital renderings merge the fantastical elements of unicorn mythology with the aesthetics of mass-produced, neon-colored, and often ironic imagery.
Each unicorn in the series is depicted in a different pop art style, incorporating bold, saturated colors, and commercial iconography. The unicorns are often posed in whimsical or exaggerated stances, blending innocence with humor and a subtle commentary on consumer culture. The figures may be adorned with symbols like dollar signs, emojis, or comic book-style speech bubbles, transforming them into icons of modern pop culture.
