Silkscreen // Running Chum #1 by KAWS, a silkscreen print from 2000, is a striking monochrome work that embodies the artist's bold, graphic style. The limited edition piece features the character Chum, one of KAWS's recurring figures, depicted in a stylized, cartoonish form with its signature crossed-out eyes. The image captures Chum mid-motion, emphasizing its plump, rounded contours and exaggerated body shape. The stark contrast between the black background and white outlines creates a powerful visual impact, showcasing KAWS’s approach of blending street art aesthetics with pop culture influences. The simplicity and boldness of the composition reflect the artist's focus on form and his critique of consumerism.

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.
