KAWS從大眾熟悉的懷舊主題中汲取靈感,在這組版畫中,KAWS重新構想了流行文化英雄形象,在每個構圖中融入他經典的風格,從而模糊藝術與當代文化的界線。將憨憨的卡通人物直接的進行改變,讓人捉摸不出這個尼克卡通評分最高的節目裡的主人公為何扮起這些表情。雖然人物有著令人熟悉的翹鼻和齙牙, KAWS將它圓圓的眼睛消融成了他經典的「X」眼,這個具代表性的標誌讓人聯想起酒精和毒品,平衡了動畫人物的樂觀天性。以此,KAWS在經典形象中融入了詼諧的批判性,留給觀者自行判斷這是一種致敬還是批判。(Mónica Ramírez- Montagut, 〈KAWS〉,展覽手冊,奧德里奇當代美術館, 里奇菲爾德 ,2010年,截自網絡)

運用三種配色:一個模仿了經典黃色,以及有著更微妙的同色調效果的紅色和黑色,KAWS將他對平面圖像線條高超的技巧,融入到傳統的插圖和更具表現力的抽象中。通過巧妙的挪用受歡迎的卡通形象,KAWS已經成功吸引了全球藏家的關注,並在Instagram擁有超過三百萬的忠實粉絲。他多元的創作手法包含繪畫、雕塑以及版畫,獲得了眾多支持,KAWS的作品已被權威的機構納入永久收藏中,包括紐約布魯克林博物館,德克薩斯沃斯堡現代美術館,西班牙CAC馬拉加美術館以及巴黎羅森布拉姆收藏。

KAWS

American | 1974
To understand the work of KAWS is to understand his roots in the skateboard and graffiti crews of New York City. Brian Donnelly chose KAWS as his moniker to tag city streets beginning in the 1990s, and quickly became a celebrated standout in the scene. Having swapped spray paint for explorations in fine art spanning sculpture, painting and collage, KAWS has maintained a fascination with classic cartoons, including Garfield, SpongeBob SquarePants and The Simpsons, and reconfigured familiar subjects into a world of fantasy. Perhaps he is most known for his larger-than-life fiberglass sculptures that supplant the body of Mickey Mouse onto KAWS' own imagined creatures, often with 'x'-ed out eyes or ultra-animated features. However, KAWS also works frequently in neon and vivid paint, adding animation and depth to contemporary paintings filled with approachable imagination. There is mass appeal to KAWS, who exhibits globally and most frequently in Asia, Europe and the United States.
