About the artwork
These six independent works are part of a series produced for Kaws' collaboration with Detroit's Museum of Contemporary Art, during his solo exhibition "Kaws: Alone Again". Taking up his famous figure, the Skully, the artist offers here a cut-up version that makes it difficult to perceive him as a whole. The viewer is thus invited to mentally recompose Skully and acquire the various pieces in order to piece together this mysterious puzzle.
Expert opinion
This series, co-edited by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit, is representative of Kaws' work through the presence of his famous Skully character, but offers a renewed vision through the cutting of the latter. The pieces can be hung separately or together, in any order, to play with the perception of the subject.
About the artist
American artist born in 1974. Lives and works in New York (USA). Graduate of the School of Visual Arts, New York. Initially a graffiti artist, Kaws reappropriates the language of advertising in a style that blends Pop Art, comic strips and other cultural references. Through his practice, he plays on the boundary between academicism and commercial distribution, questioning the relationship between contemporary art and capitalism. Kaws is a veritable artistic phenomenon who has gathered around him a committed and loyal community of collectors. His work can be found in the collections of the High Museum in Atlanta and the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.
