KAWS x Longside Gallery Exhibition
A few days ago we posted a sneak peek of KAWS's debut exhibition at the Longside Gallery. Now thanks to Arrested Motion, we get even a closer look at the KAWS's canvas pieces and largely recognizable sculptures. The exhibit also takes place outdoors on the 250-acre Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
On display were old and new works from the Brooklyn-based artist including never before seen canvases paintings from his 2013 show Survival Machine. The Longside x Yorkshire exhibit also comprised of KAWS's Companion, Accomplice, Chum, Bendy, Warm Regards and the Snoopy Series, which premiered at Honor Fraser's 2014 Mans Best Friend exhibit.
KAWS's recent work furthers his ideas about the power of images to communicate beyond their expected realms. Made on canvas stretched over wood panels, each work in KAWS's new series of shaped paintings takes on the silhouette of a familiar figure from animated cartoons and comic strips.
KAWS's Longside Gallery x Yorkshire Sculpture Park exhibit is now open and will run through to June 12. Get a virtual look inside the exhibition below.
