...taking place at the Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin in Miami and capturing the spirit of lovable characters Spongebob and The Smurfs.Is modern pop art just that? Saturated?. And is Kaws' own material still original? Has he put crosses over just about every character known to man? Is that even imaginative in the first place?
Ive always felt like i was missing something everyone else sees when i look at his stuff.
ReplyDeleteI feel you on that, Tan.
ReplyDeleteBut I have to admit the companions are nice...Then again as a kid I had action figures so there lies the obsession.
Now, who wants to buy me the storm trooper companion?
Kaws' street work is legendary for the way it forces the viewer to question what they're looking at. Take that interaction from an intrusion to your daily life, and put into a gallery and it loses everything
ReplyDeleteVinyl toys and printed garments... they for tweenagers
Kaws dropped off time ago
I think his 'stuff' is pretty good actually.
