Meaning & Analysis

The print is part of the Tension collection, a series of ten screen prints all of which depict dynamic and exciting graffiti inspired compositions. KAWS was heavily involved with the graffiti and street culture scene in New York in the 1990s and often took to the streets, armed with a spray can to hone his draughtsmanship.

KAWS’ artistic origins in graffiti have led him to be compared to Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, two leading 20th century artists who emerged from the New York City graffiti subculture of the 1980s. Now, the artist is regarded as a leading 21st century artist who will no doubt inspire future generations of artists, as Haring and Basquiat did for him.

  • 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.
