这是一个衣冠楚楚的收集立即识别流行文化即兴发挥,以大胆的图形和熟悉的角色阵容 自从上世纪90年KAWS的事业腾飞以来,很少有艺术家能够像KAWS那样无缝地弥合高低文化之间的鸿沟:他标志性的卡通灵感设计为时装系列、乙烯基雕像、滑板以及售价数百万美元的画布增色不少。经常描绘米奇老鼠和海绵宝宝方形裤这样熟悉的人物,有花椰菜耳朵和X'ed的眼睛,KAWS在他的作品中运用了复杂的黑色幽默,探索艺术和消费主义之间的关系。 这份出版物记录了这位艺术家在中东的首次展览,展出了近20年来40多件雕塑和绘画的重要作品。在卡塔尔多哈的展览及其随附的目录中,还有一些KAWS的商业合作,还有他5米高的雕塑同伴(路过)和40米高的充气度假。这本书用布装订,是一本华丽的卡瓦最令人兴奋的作品集。 布莱恩·唐纳利(生于1974年)以其涂鸦标签KAWS而闻名,是当今最知名的艺术品牌之一的幕后策划人。唐纳利从青春期开始就是一名涂鸦艺术家,1996年获得视觉艺术学院插画学士学位。之后,他成为一名独立设计师之前,曾担任动画电视节目的背景艺术家。他曾与Kanye West等艺术家合作,并与Supreme、Nike和Comme des Garçons等品牌合作。他目前是纽约斯卡斯特德画廊的表。 A clothbound collection of KAWS’ instantly recognizable riffs on pop culture
featuring bold graphics and a familiar cast of characters Few artists have managed to bridge the gap between high and low culture as seamlessly as KAWS has since his career took off in the 1990s: his iconic cartoon-inspired designs have graced fashion collections
vinyl figurines and skateboards as well as canvases sold for millions of dollars. Frequently portraying familiar figures such as Mickey Mouse and Spongebob Squarepants with cauliflower ears and X’ed-out eyes KAWS employs a sophisticated dark humor throughout his work exploring the relationship between art and consumerism. This publication documents the artist’s first exhibit in the Middle East
with more than 40 key pieces in sculpture and painting from the last two decades. The exhibit in Doha Qatar and its accompanying catalog also feature a number of KAWS’ commercial collaborations alongside his 5-meter-tall sculpture Companion (Passing Through) and his inflatable 40-meter-tall piece Holiday. Bound in cloth this volume is a gorgeous collection of KAWS’ most exciting work. Brian Donnelly (born 1974)
