Kaws (1974) - Kaws Companion Flayed Red 2017

16.7x11.4x6.4 Cm

The most recognizable figure in all of KAWS' work, the companion has appeared in many different iterations and on several different mediums throughout the years. After recent increasing demand, KAWS released a full series of six different companions that included both full body and flayed versions of the classic character.

About Kaws:
KAWS is a Brooklyn-based artist whose influential body of work masterfully synthesizes the worlds of art and design.
Across painting, murals, large-scale sculpture, and street art, as well as graphic and production design, his work possesses a sophisticated humor and thoughtful interplay with consumer products through collaborations with global brands. KAWS is often inspired by and appropriates pop culture animations to form a unique artistic vocabulary that spans a broad range of mediums.

Now admired for his larger-than-life sculptures and hard-edge paintings that emphasize line and color, KAWS has created a cast of hybrid cartoon and human characters that are perhaps the strongest examples of his exploration of humanity.

KAWS has exhibited extensively throughout the United States and internationally. Recent solo exhibitions of his work have been held at institutions such as the Brooklyn Museum; the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth; the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts; the Yuz Museum, Yorkshire Sculpture Park; and the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga.


He has also participated in exhibitions at major institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego,the Newcomb Art Museum; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; and the Deste Art Foundation for Contemporary Art.
