Silkscreen Print on Saunders Waterford 425gm HP hi-white Paper // KAWS' Urge (8) (2020) is a limited edition silkscreen print that features the artist's signature style, blending cartoonish aesthetics with contemporary art. The piece presents a close-up of one of KAWS' iconic characters, with an expressive, X-eyed face rendered in shades of purple. Surrounding the character are four brightly colored hands in red, yellow, blue, and gray, all featuring the signature X marks. The overlapping hands suggest a sense of interaction or connection, characteristic of KAWS' exploration of emotional expression through simplified forms. The use of bold colors and familiar motifs speaks to KAWS' commentary on consumer culture, pop art, and the crossover between commercial and fine art.

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.
