This special UT collection presents Kaws’ designs in a curated selection from the artist’s wide range of sculptures and artworks, spanning his acclaimed career and featuring his beloved Companion and BFF. Kaws engages audiences far beyond the museums and galleries in which he regularly exhibits. His prolific body of influential work straddles the worlds of art and design to include paintings, murals, large-scale sculptures, street art, graphic and product design. Admired for his larger-than-life sculptures and hard-edge paintings that emphasise line and colour, Kaws’ cast of hybrid cartoon and human characters represent the strongest examples of his exploration of humanity. He has been exhibited at the High Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Yorkshire Sculpture Park in England, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, and Yuz Museum in Shanghai.
