Kaws Holiday Indonesia Pink 2023

Following recent news confirming that the KAWS:Holiday series making Indonesia its 10th stop, AllRightsReserved and AKG Entertainment have finally unveiled official images of the monumental exhibit lying beside the wondrous 9th-century Prambanan temples.

Nestled in the historic city of Yogyakarta in southern Java, Prambanan is Indonesia’s largest Hindu temple complex and a valuable UNESCO World Heritage Site. With the unveiling of KAWS:Holiday, KAWS offers a refreshing experience for visitors by pairing contemporary art with ancient architecture.

This is also the first time in the 6-year-long tour for KAWS to feature the “ACCOMPLICE,” a design that was initially released in 2002 as a vinyl figure. Stretching 45 meters long, the bunny-like “ACCOMPLICE” now also sets the record as the artist’s largest sculpture to date.

“I am honored to have my sculpture on display in Indonesia, where it can be enjoyed by the public and become a part of the vibrant cultural landscape of the country. Art has the power to bring people together and inspire meaningful connections, and I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to that through my work,” said KAWS.

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.
