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 Hard Edge Art?
Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
