Screenprint // KAWS’s Dissected Companion (Gray), created in 2006, is a limited edition screenprint measuring 20 by 20 inches. The artwork features KAWS’s iconic character, the Companion, shown in a dissected state, revealing anatomical details on one half while maintaining the character's typical form on the other. Rendered in grayscale tones, the piece highlights the juxtaposition between the familiar, cartoonish exterior and the detailed, almost scientific interior. The cross-section includes elements such as muscles, bones, and organs, all stylized in KAWS’s signature graphic approach. The split composition creates a visual and conceptual contrast, inviting viewers to reflect on the relationship between surface appearance and hidden complexity. This work embodies KAWS’s fusion of pop art, street culture, and fine art, making it both playful and thought-provoking, as it deconstructs the iconic imagery of animation and toys with a contemporary twist.

What is Comic Strip Art?
Comic strip art refers to artwork that utilizes the subject matter and commercial printing techniques found in comic strips. In the 1960s, a group of artists began creating paintings that incorporated Ben-Day dots—commonly used in comics and advertising—to produce highly graphic designs in bright colors, using traditional art media.
