Kaws Small Lie Black 2017 Never opened! About the Artist Kaws : Born as Brian Donnelly in 1974 in Jersey City, New Jersey, KAWS graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1996. Initially, he worked briefly for Disney as a freelance animator. Transitioning into a graffiti artist, he gained recognition in the 1990s in New York City by subverting imagery on various advertisements. In the late 1990s, KAWS ventured into designing and producing limited edition vinyl toys, particularly popular in Japan. He collaborated with numerous brands and artists, blurring the line between fine art and commercial merchandise. His artwork, including acrylic paintings and sculptures, features recurring images intended to be universally understood, such as his "Package Paintings" series and reinterpretations of iconic characters like The Simpsons and Mickey Mouse. Through his projects, KAWS has successfully bridged the gap between fine art and mass-produced goods, reaching a wider audience. He remains active in both the commercial and fine art communities, with notable exhibitions globally, including Tokyo, Paris, and Atlanta. SHIPPING： EMS or Fedex or DHL. Ship tracked & insured.
