KAWS

Running Chum - Bus Stop

2001

A striking example of KAWS's signature visual language, this work presents the iconic "Chum" companion figure mid-stride, rendered in bold acrylic on heavyweight 850 gsm Arches paper. The piece is housed within a rebuilt Bus Stop Lightbox, a nod to KAWS's roots in street culture and his early career subverting public advertising spaces. The glowing display format transforms the work into an immersive urban artifact, bridging the worlds of fine art and street intervention.
