Meaning & Analysis

The print can be seen alongside nine other screen prints which compose the Urge collection. In this collection, KAWS depicts Companion surrounded by gloved hands. The colours and arrangement of the hands are different and change with each print, meaning no two compositions are alike. The hands surrounding Companion feature crosses which mimic Companion’s crossed out eyes. Crosses are a trademark feature of KAWS’ visual language and are often used in his graphic designs. Companion’s crossed out eyes bring an air of morbidity to the prints which contrasts with the bright and vibrant colours KAWS uses throughout the collection.

Companion is one of KAWS’ oldest cartoon characters and is identifiable by his inflated skull and crossbones head, crossed out eyes, Mickey Mouse-like body and gloved hands. KAWS is well known for creating a stock of cartoon characters who reappear throughout his artworks. Alongside Companion, KAWS often incorporates the characters Accomplice, Chum and Bendy into his prints.

  • 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.
