Brian Donnelly (born 1974), professionally known as KAWS, is a New York-based artist and designer of limited edition toys and clothing. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn. In the late 90s, KAWS began to design and produce limited edition vinyl toys, “an instant hit with the global art toy-collecting community,”especially in Japan, where this genre is well respected and widespread. Through all of his projects, KAWS has successfully blurred the line between fine art and mass-produced merchandise. He uses his products to allow his imagery to infiltrate a larger audience than that of the fine art world. The artist is currently an active member in both the commercial and fine art communities.
Following from the teaser photo KAWS put out through his Instagram a few days ago, we now have a more in-depth look at his latest exhibition “Giswil”. Taking place at More Gallery in the town of Giswil, Switzerland (hence the exhibition name), the show features his impressive new piece “Massive Wooden Companion”, which pulls inspiration from the iconic Carlo Collodi novel The Adventures of Pinocchio. The sculpture will also be accompanied by some more traditional KAWS artworks, including his super flat paintings. “Giswil” will be running from today (9 June, 2013) through to 26 August, 2013.
