Meaning & Analysis

Blame Game IV is part of the Blame Game collection, which is composed of 10 screen prints, each of which captures a close-up portion of the same cartoon character’s face. The prints are all rendered in bright and vibrant colours, which reflect KAWS’ love of colour and playful experimentation with it in his works. The bold, gestural lines used in the image are characteristic of KAWS’ artistic style, which was heavily influenced by graffiti, street art and animation.

KAWS started experimenting with graffiti when he was growing up in New Jersey, and further developed his talent for street art when he moved to New York. KAWS rose to fame through his street art and will be remembered as an iconic 21st century artist who was successful in bridging the gap between street art and high art, much like the renowned artists of the 20th century, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

  • American-born artist, KAWS, is renowned for his cartoon figures, prints and 'subvertisements'. Born in 1974 to the burgeoning New York graffiti and street art scene, KAWS has successfully combined fine art and pop culture to create his own lane in the urban art world. His distinct aesthetic, characterised by playful figures and a subversive take on pop culture icons, has earned him acclaim in both the art and mainstream realms. Most notable is his Companion figure which has achieved global critical and commercial success, and has formed collaborations with the likes of Nike and Dior Homme.
