Party’s over (yellow round)

PARTY'S OVER and ALL HOT AIR replicate the slightly sad, semi-deflated balloons left behind long after a party has finished. Often witnessed in public spaces as well as family homes, Kenny is interested in how they can be re-deployed in a fine art context to activate rich collective memories. Skilfully reproduced in bronze and jesmonite to give the illusion of the ‘real thing’, this work also reflects Kenny’s interest in blurring the line between fact and fiction, fake and original.
