Companion vs Astroboy

I am pleased to offer you an early work by KAWS which rarely becomes available.

Published in a limited edition of only 50, the image features the Companion with the signature crossed eyes and Mickey Mouse-style gloves, and the popular Japanese manga character Astro Boy, all elements that became trademark signs of KAWS' visual language.

The exhibition, entitled #@!*$ : RECENT WORKS marked a highly successful moment in the artist's career.

KAWS

Beloved hero of the fashion and music industries, KAWS is one of a handful of artists to successfully bridge the gap between fine art and mass production. Starting his career as a background painter for Disney, his assured understanding of the commercial art world led to the release of the highly-collectable KAWS Companion figures in the late 1990s. Alongside his work on the streets, which often included customised bus shelter adverts, these enabled him to build a monumental cult following.
