Serigraph // KAWS’s Tension #2 (2019) is a limited edition serigraph that showcases his mastery of abstraction through bold shapes and vivid colors. The composition is a dynamic interplay of geometric and organic forms, with contrasting hues such as bright reds, deep blues, greens, purples, and splashes of yellow. The overlapping layers create a sense of movement and depth, while the curving lines and sharp angles evoke a feeling of tension, as the title suggests. This serigraph highlights KAWS’s transition from his more figurative works to a vibrant, abstract expression of his signature style, blending pop culture influences with fine art.

What is appropriation?
Artwork by Shepard Fairey

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.
