Kaws (1974) - Kaws Holiday Singapore (black)

Watch Out!! Are you ready??

KAWS's Holiday Singapore (black) artwork was made in 2021 and comes with its original packaging.

Holiday Singapore Black depicts a reclining Companion, an iconic figure in Kaws's artistic output, embracing a smaller version of the Companion. The artwork is inspired by Kaws's own installation on the Marina Bay Floating Platform in Singapore. The 13-metre installation saw the addition of the two figures locked in an embrace as a dominant feature of Singapore's skyline.

"At a time when international travel can be a challenge for many, I am grateful for the opportunity the Holiday project provides to bring art experiences to different locations and am excited to be coming to Singapore for the first time."

Holiday Singapore measures 26.7x8.9x6.4 cm and has the stamp on the bottom of the feet authenticating its originality.

About Kaws:
KAWS is a Brooklyn-based artist whose influential body of work masterfully synthesizes the worlds of art and design. Across painting, murals, large-scale sculpture, and street art, as well as graphic and production design, his work possesses a sophisticated humor and thoughtful interplay with consumer products through collaborations with global brands.

KAWS is often inspired by and appropriates pop culture animations to form a unique artistic vocabulary that spans a broad range of mediums. Now admired for his larger-than-life sculptures and hard-edge paintings that emphasize line and color, KAWS has created a cast of hybrid cartoon and human characters that are perhaps the strongest examples of his exploration of humanity.

KAWS has exhibited extensively throughout the United States and internationally. Recent solo exhibitions of his work have been held at institutions such as the Brooklyn Museum,the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth; the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts,the Yuz Museum; Yorkshire Sculpture Park,and the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga.
