Meaning & Analysis

Dissected Companion (black) is part of the Companion collection, a body of prints that all depict the much-loved cartoon character that KAWS created himself in 1999. Companion is characterised by his distinct shape, which is reminiscent of Mickey Mouse, his skull and crossbone head, and his crossed out eyes. This print, however, gives a different perspective of Companion which demonstrates KAWS’ creative flair.

Companion is one of a set of stock characters created by KAWS that appear repeatedly throughout his artworks. Other notable characters include Accomplice, Chum and Bendy. KAWS’ characters were initially drawn in 2D, born out of his experimentation with graffiti in New York. With KAWS’ rise in popularity, many of the characters have also been realised in 3D and made into sculptures or toys.

  • 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.
