World-renowned graffiti artist turned gallery favorite KAWS has displayed his signature “Companion” at a host of locations across the globe, from The Standard Hotel in New York City to Hong Kong and more. The newest venue for this sculpture is at the unexpected 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The building is one of the most architecturally appealing within the City of Brotherly Love, which affords a stark contrast between its classical form and the modern work of KAWS. Living Proof Magazine was on hand at the opening to capture the scene. The 16-foot-tall sculpture will remain at 30th Street Station until May 14, 2013.
