Do you know Kaws is not the actual name of the owner of the Kaws brand? Yes, Brian Donnelly, the graphic designer and graffiti artist, established his name as a sculpture artist before becoming a clothing designer. His artwork, paintings, sculptures and limited-edition toy collection carved a unique place in every art lover’s heart and fine art industry. He made his toys accessible to the masses by offering them at lower prices. Over the last decades, Kaws Clothing and Toys have collaborated with Nike, Dior, A Bathing Ape, Uniqlo, and other famous celebs, including Kayne West, which has increased its popularity to the next level. Here, we are talking about some most-selling toys and tees that every art enthusiast should purchase.Â
KAWS x Medicom Toy ‘Dissected Companion’
In 2006, KAWS launched a series of Companion figurines divided in two. These figures added a feeling of demise of the character, which is generally portrayed as fun. The figurines were available in three different colors: black, grey, and brown. The brown one is the one that can be purchased by Origins NYC. One of the figurines was prominently featured in Drake’s Toosie Slide music video.
KAWS x Medicom Toy Bearbrick ‘Dissected’ 1000%
The concept of dissection was further explored via a series of Bearbrick toys, which were available in editions of 500 and in either black, brown, or gray. These toys were more reasonably priced. This version, produced in 2010, is not only incredibly popular but also stands at a height of 70 centimeters.
Passing Through Companion
The Passing Through Companion was produced in 2013, the same year that KAWS closed his clothing business, OriginalFake. It was published in a limited run of 500 pieces of each color, with black, brown, and gray being the three colors available. The toy, which stands at a height of 28 centimeters and is one of the most stunning KAWS sculptures, is almost surely going to generate a debate due to its sad attitude.
KAWS Together Vinyl Figure Brown
The recent iteration of KAWS clothes and toys’s well-known Companion, this Together Figure in Brown, was made available only via KAWSONE on June 12th, 2018. In 2016, large-scale Together sculptures were shown in KAWS exhibits held at the More Gallery in Switzerland and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth in Texas. These shows took place just before the book was released. In addition to being 11.5 inches tall, the figurine depicts two Companions holding one other while entwined. The vinyl is designed in a neutral brown style, and the characteristic eye and hand patterns that KAWS is known for are accentuated in black inside the design.
KAWS What Party Vinyl Figure Black
The artist made his comeback with a new figure that was labeled KAWS What Party, which was released not long after the release of his highly anticipated KAWS Holiday Space Figures. A fan favorite, Chum, debuted in 2002 and was available in five colors: black, white, orange, pink, and yellow. This figure is a comeback of the Chum character, initially released in 2002. On the first of September 2020, the release was implemented on the KAWSONE website. Each figurine is 11.3 inches in height, 5.1 inches in width, and 3.7 inches in height, and it depicts the Chum character in a mood of melancholy, hunched over.Â
