Screen print on Stonehenge gray paper - Published by Serpentine - Signed, dated and numbered to lower edge // Share by KAWS, created in 2021, is a screen-print on Stonehenge gray paper. This piece features one of KAWS’s iconic characters, Companion, rendered in his familiar cartoon-like style. The figure, characterized by its signature crossed-out eyes and oversized, rounded features, stands holding a smaller, pink plush toy. The monochromatic palette of grays contrasts with the pink toy, drawing attention to the interaction between the figures. The simplicity and playfulness of the composition, combined with the subtle emotional depth, evoke themes of connection, nostalgia, and childhood innocence, which are central motifs in KAWS's work. The print is both endearing and poignant, blending elements of contemporary pop culture with fine art aesthetics.

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.
