KAWS: HOLIDAY SPACE: Set of 2 works (Black & Gold):

KAWS SPACE is a celebration of 20 years of the KAWS COMPANION. Using a sounding balloon, the KAWS: HOLIDAY SPACE was sent up 41.5km into the stratosphere before retuning to Earth. Reminiscent of KAWS’ MTV VMA Moonman trophy (2013), the individual sculptures feature a derailed space suit complete with hoses, valves and more. A standout KAWS display set constructed with a bright metallic mirrored feel as well as a significantly heavier body compared to the artist’s traditional vinyl figures.

KAWS SPACE Artist Statement:
“So many projects have been cancelled this year. I wanted to create one that could be experienced safely from home,” says KAWS. “Because this year marks 20 years since I created COMPANION, I tried to find a way around all the restrictions and do something special. I felt so confined the past few months that creating a project like this has really given me a chance to escape.”

KAWS is a fine artist, illustrator, painter, sculptor, product designer, and toymaker. His cartoonish style—including his best-known characters with X-ed out eyes—has its roots in his early career as a street artist, when he began replacing advertisements with his own, masterful acrylic paintings in the early 1990s.
