Screenprint // KAWS’s Dissected Companion (Brown), created in 2006, is a limited edition screenprint measuring 20 by 20 inches. The artwork depicts KAWS’s iconic Companion character in a dissected form, revealing anatomical details on one half while maintaining the familiar cartoon-like exterior on the other. Rendered with shades of brown, gray, and other muted tones, this piece highlights the contrast between the playful, simplified outer appearance and the intricate, almost medical-like detail of the inner anatomy. The cross-sectional view includes organs, muscles, and other bodily structures, all stylized in KAWS's signature graphic and flat aesthetic. This split design creates a striking visual dichotomy that invites viewers to explore themes of identity, perception, and the relationship between the surface and what lies beneath. Dissected Companion (Brown) is a powerful example of KAWS’s ability to blend pop art with street culture, offering both a familiar and unsettling perspective on contemporary figures.

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.
