Silkscreen // KAWS’s Presenting the Past, created in 2014, is a limited edition silkscreen print measuring 32 by 32 inches. The composition showcases KAWS’s signature vibrant style, featuring bold, cartoon-like figures rendered in flat colors and dynamic shapes. The central characters, a yellow figure entangled in green vines and a distressed, spherical blue character, are surrounded by abstract, fragmented red and pink forms, creating a sense of chaos and movement. The exaggerated, graphic nature of the figures and the overlapping, angular elements give the piece a three-dimensional feel, despite its flat application of color. The interplay between the characters suggests a narrative, with emotional tension implied by the body language and expressions. KAWS’s work blends elements of pop culture, street art, and fine art, encouraging viewers to interpret the relationships and emotions conveyed through his iconic visual language.

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.
