Silkscreen // Running Chum #2 by KAWS is a bold silkscreen print that features the artist's iconic character, Chum, rendered in a minimalist black-and-white palette. The piece focuses on Chum’s exaggerated features—thick, rounded forms and expressive lines—highlighting the playful, cartoonish nature of the figure. The composition is both abstract and figurative, with Chum’s crossed-out eyes adding a signature touch of dark humor. The stark contrast between black and white amplifies the graphic impact, making this a striking example of KAWS' exploration of pop culture, street art, and contemporary iconography.

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.
