Letterpress on Somerset archival paper. Signed and numbered by the artist. Dissected Companion (Black) by KAWS, created in 2006, is a rare letterpress print on Somerset archival paper, measuring 50 × 50 cm and limited to an edition of just 4. The work features the artist’s iconic Companion figure rendered in stark black, with one half revealing a brightly colored anatomical cross-section. With X-ed out eyes and exaggerated cartoon-like organs, the figure embodies KAWS’s critique of consumer culture and his playful yet unsettling reinterpretation of familiar pop imagery. The glow-in-the-dark palette and simplified internal anatomy lend the piece a graphic intensity and eerie charm.

What is figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
