This piece, created in 2009, measures 42" high x 40" wide and is a striking example of Kunkel's signature approach—blending pattern, pop culture references, and personal symbolism.

A lifelong collector, Kunkel mined inspiration from the objects and imagery he surrounded himself with. His paintings are cerebral yet accessible, inviting the viewer to decode layered meaning, reflect on the past, and find the sublime in the everyday. Focus exemplifies this philosophy with dynamic composition and nuanced detail.

Kunkel’s works are included in the permanent collections of institutions such as the Denver Art Museum, Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, and many corporate and private collections nationwide.

This painting is in excellent condition and is unframed, allowing flexibility for the collector. A compelling addition to any collection of contemporary, pop-inflected, or narrative art. See less
