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 pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
