Meaning & Analysis

No Reply 1 is one of 10 screen prints that form the No Reply collection. Viewed in isolation, it is hard to discern what the prints in this series are showing, however when viewed together, it becomes apparent that they are all depicting parts of a cartoon character.

KAWS has had a longstanding interest in animation and cartoons. The artist studied illustration at the New York School of Visual Arts, where he obtained a Bachelor of Fine Art in 1996. He then went on to work as a freelance animator for Jumbo Pictures where he designed the backgrounds for well-known cartoon series such as 101 Dalmatians, Daria and Doug. KAWS’ early career in animation shines through in this collection and marks his unique visual 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.
