Meaning & Analysis

The print is part of the No Reply collection, a series of 10 screen prints, all of which depict portions of a cartoon character’s face or compositions of cartoon inspired features. The collection is similar to Blame Game, produced in 2014, which also features cropped sections of a cartoon character’s face.

KAWS’ work is clearly inspired by animation and a love of cartoons. The artist has created a stock of figurative characters which frequently re-appear throughout his artworks. Companion, Bendy, Accomplice and Chum were all developed by KAWS through his experimentation with graffiti and street art. In addition to creating his own characters, KAWS has drawn on famous cartoon characters as inspiration for his artworks, with an example being SpongeBob Square Pants who inspired to the Kawsbob collection.

  • 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.
