 About:
KAWS’s signature COMPANION figure appears in two new sculptures fabricated in wood – each over eighteen feet high – that rise to the ceiling of the soaring skylit space. In ALONG THE WAY, a pair of the figures, heads lowered and one arm on each other’s back, embrace in a pose of gentle solace. The other work, AT THIS TIME, presents Companion standing alone with head arched back and hands covering the eyes. The posture at once conveys a reluctance to face the world and a withdrawal from what has already been witnessed.
Three eight-foot tondo paintings that complete the exhibition reveal KAWS’s distinctive mode of advancing the bold colors and streamlined iconography of Pop art. While the dynamic shapes suggest close-ups of the plump hands, X’d eyes, and crossbone ears the figures, the close cropping of the images allows the paintings to vacillate between figuration and abstraction.
