Meaning & Analysis

This print is part of The News collection, a series of nine screen prints in colours, all of which use a circular shape for the print’s design. The choice of shape makes this collection stand out from others made by KAWS in which the artist opts for a more conventional rectangular design. The collection can be compared to the Blame Game collection, produced earlier in 2014, in which KAWS produced ten screen prints which showed close-up sections of a cartoon character’s face, much like he does in this collection.

The colours used by KAWS in The News I are bright and bold. KAWS’ frequent use of vibrant colours, as well as his affinity with the screen printing technique have often led to the artist being compared to Andy Warhol, the leading figure of the Pop Art movement.

  • 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.
