Meaning & Analysis

The style of this print differs from previous depictions of Snoopy done by KAWS which are characterised by their use of bold colours and simple visual style. The Man’s Best Friend collection has a looser, more expressionist style, making it stand out from KAWS’ other collections.

KAWS often turns to cartoons for artistic inspiration. As well as Snoopy, KAWS has used popular cartoon characters such as the Smurfs, The Simpsons and SpongeBob Square Pants as the basis of his artworks. KAWS always adapts these cartoon characters, rendering them in his unique, graffiti inspired style.

  • 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.
