Screenprint on Saunders Waterford 425gm HP hi-white paper
KAWS’s What Party - Blue, created in 2020, is a limited edition screenprint measuring 22 by 22 inches, printed on Saunders Waterford 425gm HP hi-white paper. The artwork features one of KAWS's iconic characters, depicted in a deep blue tone with exaggerated outlines. The figure is recognizable by its crossed-out eyes and bulbous, cartoonish form, elements typical of KAWS's style that blend street art aesthetics with contemporary pop culture. The character's posture appears slouched and introspective, evoking a sense of melancholy or resignation. The contrasting bright orange background further highlights the figure, adding an intense visual dynamic to the composition. This piece exemplifies KAWS's ability to merge emotional depth with a playful, graphic aesthetic, transforming his character into a symbol that resonates with universal themes of loneliness and introspection.
KAWS (USA, 1974), born Brian Donnelly, is a contemporary artist and designer celebrated for his cartoon-inspired sculptures, paintings, and collectible toys. Merging street art and pop culture, his iconic 'Companion' figures and bold graphics have reached global audiences, bridging the worlds of fine art, fashion, and commercial design.
Screen-printScreen printing is a technique where ink is transferred through a mesh onto a substrate, with areas blocked by a stencil to prevent ink from passing through. This method, also known as serigraphy or silkscreen printing, is commonly used to produce prints on posters, T-shirts, vinyl, stickers, wood, and other materials. The process is a type of stencil printing, allowing for vibrant, detailed designs on various surfaces.

Born Brian Donnelly but creating under a pseudonym, Kaws is an artist renowned for his acrylic paintings and sculptures that often employ repeated and distinctive graphics while reworking highly recognisable pop culture icons – Companion is one of his most notable sculptures, a large-scale, clown-like and darker take on the universally-recognised Mickey Mouse. Kaws’ early foray into art was through the form of street-graffiti; his trademark ‘x’ symbol, often applied over the hands, eyes and mouths of his characters, sprung from this phase in which Kaws would often replace public advertisements with his own artwork, a technique known as subvertising. Kaws uses a number of different materials throughout his creative processes including wood, aluminium, fiberglass and a steel pontoon inflatable raft; he has also collaborated with numerous companies and artists including Santastic! and John Mayer.

Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
