Cool Google-Inspired Contemporary Artist...

I've had the great pleasure to recently get to know Ken Solomon and his work. His latest show just opened at the Josee Beienvenu Gallery in Chelsea. Love that he's obsessed with Google Image Search results pages, and Facebook profile oddities! My personal fav is his Air Jordan/Lichtenstein mash-up... (also, a similar take, styled after the work of Piet Mondrian)

Peter Kafka/AllThingsD.com did a nice feature on Ken's work here...
