Meaning & Analysis

The print can be seen alongside two other screen prints, each of which depict Chum running. While the three prints all show Chum, they each capture him from a different angle. Running Chum I is the only print that shows the character’s entire body.

KAWS is well known for his impressive collection of cartoon characters which he often incorporates into his artworks. Along with Chum, notable characters that re-appear throughout KAWS’ prints are Bendy, Accomplice and Companion. Chum was inspired by the Michelin tyre company mascot, the Michelin Man, originally drawn by the 20th century French cartoonist, Marius Rossilon. KAWS adapts this recognisable figure by rendering him in his signature artistic style, adding his iconic crossed out eyes and skull and crossbone head.

  • American-born artist, KAWS, is renowned for his cartoon figures, prints and 'subvertisements'. Born in 1974 to the burgeoning New York graffiti and street art scene, KAWS has successfully combined fine art and pop culture to create his own lane in the urban art world. His distinct aesthetic, characterised by playful figures and a subversive take on pop culture icons, has earned him acclaim in both the art and mainstream realms. Most notable is his Companion figure which has achieved global critical and commercial success, and has formed collaborations with the likes of Nike and Dior Homme.
