KAWS
Brian Donnelly, better known to contemporary art enthusiasts as KAWS, is a Brooklyn-based artist who, in the last decade, has revolutionised the art world with his large scale sculptures and vibrant paintings, which are deeply rooted in the 1990s street art aesthetics and visual values. KAWS's practice presents some similarities both with the strikingly beautiful aesthetics of Claes Oldenburg and Takashi Murakami, and also his personal fascination with cartoon characters like Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, Tweety Bird and the Michelin Man.
