Vinyl. Stamped by the artist's estate. // KAWS's 2012 "Astro Boy" in red is a painted vinyl figure that reimagines Osamu Tezuka's iconic manga character through the artist's distinctive visual vocabulary. The figure stands with one hand covering its face in a gesture of vulnerability, its features augmented with KAWS's signature crossed-out eyes and bulbous gray ear protrusions. The red boots and brown skin tones create a warm palette that contrasts with the emotional reserve of the pose. Stamped by the artist, this edition exemplifies KAWS's practice of cultural appropriation and transformation, bridging Japanese animation heritage with contemporary art collecting.

What is Street art?
Street Art is artwork created and executed in public spaces, outside of traditional art venues. It gained popularity during the 1980s graffiti art boom and has since evolved into various forms and styles. Common forms of Street Art include pop-up art, sticker art, stencil graffiti, and street installations or sculptures. Terms like guerrilla art, neo-graffiti, post-graffiti, and urban art are often used interchangeably to describe this genre, which challenges conventional ideas about where and how art should be displayed.
