Meaning & Analysis

This print is part of the Models collection which is composed of a set of prints that appropriate images of models and commercials. In each print in the collection, KAWS either defaces the models by drawing comic cartoon characteristics on their faces and bodies, as is seen in this print, or adds one of his cartoon characters to the image, making them interact with the models. The collection explores themes of globalisation and consumerism and KAWS mocks the advertising industry by transforming their adverts into his own artworks.

Jalouse and the other prints in the Models collection are reminiscent of KAWS’ early experimentation with graffiti. While living in New York in the 1990s, KAWS would unlock cases of adverts in phone booths and bus shelters, removing the campaigns, and modifying the images by adding his graphic designs, like he does in this collection. This practise was known as ‘subvertising’ and the Models collection clearly harks back to this period of KAWS’ artistic career.

  • 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.
