KAWS at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum Exhibition
June 28, 2010 ⋅ Arts ⋅ by Eugene Kan ⋅ 29 Views

The highly anticipated KAWS exhibition at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum took place this past weekend. Blending some of KAWS’ retrospective work with some new pieces. Some of KAWS’ largest pieces to date were also complimented by large scale figures. In addition, perhaps the most unforeseen KAWS creation of the exhibition was a preview of an upcoming MEDICOM TOY figure based on Pinocchio and embodying KAWS’ signature companion.

    I admit that I am a big fan of the origional Kaws logo … but i mean all the guy does now is take other peoples characters and put an X over the eyes, where did all the origionality go?

    Taking off main stream characters and placing X’s on the eyes and hands..Oh and the bones on the sides of the face….C’mon getting tired of it. I respect him as an artist but he really needs to do something original.

    Well, i think it’s something like a staple trademark for Kaws but damn….he’s definitely exhausted it.

    I mean, he’s an artist. Creativity is meant to spawn his mind that we ‘mortals’ can’t fathom…..this here…shows what you’ve done since….well…ever.

    He really need something fresher and more captivating.

    Go on Ebay, you can find a few 4foot companions. Be ready to pay at least $7000. I wouldn’t sell it for anything less.

    I like these style graphics maybe on the bottom of a skateboard deck about to be boardslid on 100 times. As art… this is the kind of thing that makes me ask why isn’t everything art? My doodles as a kid were at least original ideas.
