Painted cast vinyl - Without the box - Stamped by artist's estate // KAWS’ Four Foot - Grey Dissected (2009) is a compelling mixed media sculpture that presents the artist's iconic Companion figure in a grey monochromatic color scheme. This large sculpture is split in half, revealing a detailed anatomical cross-section on one side, complete with exposed organs, such as the brain and intestines, while the other side maintains the smooth, stylized exterior of the Companion figure. The figure features KAWS’ trademark X eyes, gloved hands, and cartoon-like proportions, blending the playful aesthetics of popular culture with a deeper commentary on human vulnerability and identity. This Dissected Companion reflects KAWS' ongoing exploration of surface versus interior, and the dichotomy between appearance and what lies beneath. The piece is stamped by the artist's estate and represents a fusion of fine art, toy design, and the exploration of emotional and existential themes.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
