Biography:
KAWS, born Brian Donnelly in 1974, is a prominent American artist and designer.
He initially gained recognition for his graffiti-based street art in the 1990s, subverting advertising imagery by adding his signature skull-and-crossbones motif.
KAWS transitioned to fine art, creating paintings and sculptures featuring his original characters, often with crossed-out eyes. His most iconic character is COMPANION, a melancholic, cartoon-like figure that reflects themes of humanity and alienation.
His work blurs the lines between fine art and commercial art, collaborating with brands like Nike, Uniqlo, and Dior. KAWS's art has been exhibited in museums worldwide, including the Brooklyn Museum and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.
He is known for accessible, mass-produced items alongside his high-art pieces, broadening his audience and influence within popular culture.
