Kaws

One of the most prominent contemporary artists and designers, American Brian Donnelly, popularly known as Kaws, fuses art, popular culture, and commerce through his unique blend of wit and creative appropriation. The New York-based artist is renowned for his prints, paintings, sculptures, and limited-edition toys. In the style of 1960s Pop artists, Kaws blurs the distinction between populist and elite art by incorporating mass media imagery into traditional art venues through large-scale, cartoon-influenced sculptures as well as paintings with playful lines and colors. As a result, his work is highly sought after at auctions. On Bidsquare, you can find a wide selection of Kaws' artworks, offering collectors and art lovers the unique chance to acquire antique pieces from a leading contemporary artist in the world today.

As well as addressing consumer culture, the artist's work combines graffiti with fine art, commerce, and design, influenced by icons of Pop Art like Andy Warhol and Takashi Murakami. Besides working with acrylics and digital media, Kaws also created large-scale sculptures. Companion, an enormous grey sculpture modeled after Mickey Mouse, was one of Kaws' best-known works. Kaws is known for adapting a variety of cartoons into his work.  His characters and images are often modified or deformed. The flaws and fragility of his characters reflect the complexities of our emotions. One of Kaws' most recognizable images is his Companion visage, which resembles a skull and crossbones with crossed eyes. Most of Kaws' artworks were inspired by Disney animations owing to his role as an animator at Disney. 

As well as being featured on fashion shows, album covers, and storefronts, his paintings have sold for some of the highest prices in auction. Among his many projects with renowned institutions are The Brooklyn Museum, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, solo exhibitions at The Mori Arts Center Gallery, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and The National Gallery of Victoria, among others. As a cultural force that continues to push the limits of art, Kaws continues to make his mark on 21st-century art.
