Bunni B Girl
Ken Kelleher's Bunni B Girl series is a playful yet thought-provoking exploration of femininity, pop culture, and consumerism. Each sculpture in the series features a stylized, hyper-feminine figure, blending the innocence of a bunny-like character with bold, edgy elements that challenge traditional notions of beauty and identity. The figures, often adorned with vibrant colors and exaggerated features, are reminiscent of pop art's celebration of commercial aesthetics while also critiquing the objectification and commodification of the female form.
Kelleher’s Bunni B Girl characters are posed in playful, often provocative stances, echoing fashion models or cartoon characters, with an unmistakable air of surrealism. Their glossy surfaces and bright, eye-catching colors make them instantly Instagramable, inviting interaction and social media engagement. At the same time, the series carries a deeper commentary on the intersection of fashion, media, and identity, questioning how society shapes and packages femininity in a consumer-driven world.
The Bunni B Girl series stands out for its ability to fuse humor, social critique, and pop culture in a visually engaging and thought-provoking way, making it one of Kelleher’s more iconic and accessible bodies of work.
