About the Item

KAWS Grey Flayed Companion, 2016: A standout grey KAWS figurative piece - new/sealed in its original packaging. Published by Medicom Japan in conjunction with the exhibition, KAWS: Where The End Starts at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. This grey KAWS flayed Companion has long since sold out. Medium: Painted vinyl, cast resin. Year: 2016. Dimensions: 11 × 5 × 3 in (27.9 × 12.7 × 7.6 cm). New/sealed in its original packaging. Stamped on the underside of foot; from a sold-out / well out of print edition of unknown. KAWS: Spanning the worlds of graffiti, pop art, and consumer culture, KAWS’ bodies of work are highly charged, each conveying his underlying wit, irreverence, and affection for our times. He has primarily looked to and appropriated from pop-culture animations (including The Smurfs, The Simpsons, SpongeBob, and Peanuts) to form his artistic vocabulary for his paintings, drawings, and sculptures. Now well known for his larger-than-life sculptures and hard-edge paintings that emphasize line and color, KAWS’s cast of hybrid cartoon/human characters, with similarities to popular cartoon figures and logos like Mickey Mouse and the Michelin Man, are perhaps the strongest examples of his exploration of humanity. These figures have amicable names—Chum, Companion, Accomplice—and express and provoke an array of human emotions, from sad, overwhelmed, pathetic, and weary, to shy. They reflect feelings and situations we can empathize with in presentations that are balanced with humor, heartening in their cartoon aesthetic. (source: The Modern Fort Worth).

  • KAWS Bearbrick Set of 3 (KAWS Be@rbrick 400% dissected companions)
    By KAWS
    Located in NEW YORK, NY
    KAWS Bearbrick 400%; A set of 3 KAWS Dissected Bearbrick Companions, 2008-2010. Each a collaboration between KAWS' OriginalFake brand and Medicom; these much sought-after KAWS Be@rbrick figures are made from cast vinyl and features the artist's signature "X" for each eye as well as move-able arms, legs, and hands. KAWS stamp found on underside of feet; each accompanied by its original box complete with original holograms. A fantastic limited edition KAWS collector's set that works well in any setting. Medium: Vinyl Figurine. Figures: 11 x 5.25 x 4 in (27.94 x 13.34 x 10.16 cm) each. Boxes: 11.5 x 6 x 4.5 in (29.21 x 15.24 x 11.43 cm) each. Condition of Figurines: - Brown: Very good overall condition with the exception of some tiny black specs in a few areas. - Black: Very good overall condition with the exception of some minor shelf-wear to base of one foot. - Grey: Figurine is new/excellent housed in its original packaging. Boxes: each contain some minor shelf-wear; in otherwise very good overall condition. Stamped on the underside of feet. From a limited edition of approximately 1000 each. Published by Medicom Toy and OriginalFake, Tokyo. Obtained from a well established New York private collection. Original holograms present on verso of box. Further Background: BE@RBRICKs are a form of collectible toy that resemble a cross between LEGO and well, a bear. These block-style figurines boast teddy bear-style heads that have become an integral pillar of the collectible toy scene. In fact, it wouldn’t be so far-fetched to say that it almost single-handedly carved out the fad of toy collecting in modern times, treading the very fine line between toy and art. Since its inception, BE@RBRICKs have become one of the most recognizable characters in the world, and some of the most sought after. A leading artist of his generation, Brooklyn-based KAWS engages audiences beyond the museums and galleries in which he regularly exhibits. KAWS is perhaps best known for his iconic character, Companion, which is featured in key paintings, sculptures, products, and toy figures. KAWS’ art possesses a sophisticated humor and thoughtful critique of consumer products. His bold, high-minded graphic language revitalizes figuration with big, bold gestures and keen, playful intricacy. Related Categories Shepard Fairey. Street Art. Damien Hirst. KAWS companion.
