KAWS, real name Brian Donnelly, is considered one of the relevant artists of his generation. Born 1974 in New Jersey and now based in Brooklyn, his instantly recognisable aesthetic has attracted a devoted following of fans all over the world. Famously medium agnostic, KAWS’ huge body of work straddles the worlds of art and design to include street art, graphic and product design, paintings, murals and large scale sculptures. He made his name in the New York graffiti scene in the 1990s where he frequently tagged walls and freight trains with the letters K A W S. He regularly exhibits in museums and galleries internationally and has found a wide audience through high-profile collaborations with industry leaders including Nike, Uniqlo, MTV, Pharrell Williams and Kanye West.
