Painted cast vinyl - Stamped "© KAWS..09...MEDICOM TOY 2009 MADE IN CHINA" on the underside // KAWS’ Four Foot Companion - Black Dissected (2009) is a striking mixed media sculpture that combines pop culture aesthetics with the artist’s signature Companion figure. This large-scale work, made from painted cast vinyl, presents the familiar Companion character, split down the middle to reveal a detailed anatomical cross-section. The left half of the figure displays the outer black vinyl form, while the right half exposes colorful, stylized internal organs, including a bright pink brain and vibrant intestines. KAWS’ characteristic X eyes and cartoonish proportions evoke a playful yet eerie atmosphere. The Dissected Companion series comments on the fragility of life and the juxtaposition between surface appearances and underlying complexities. This piece, stamped with the artist's signature and production details, highlights KAWS’ ability to blend high art with commercial toys, creating a work that is both playful and profound.

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.
