KAWS’s signature figure appears in two new sculptures fabricated in wood - each over eighteen feet high. In "ALONG THE WAY", a pair of the figures, heads lowered and one arm on each other’s back, embrace in a pose of gentle solace.
The other work, "AT THIS TIME", presents Companion standing alone with head arched back and hands covering the eyes. The posture at once conveys a reluctance to face the world and a withdrawal from what has already been witnessed.
KAWS was born in 1974 in Jersey City, New Jersey, and is based in Brooklyn, New York City.
