Company Description
Brian Donnelly, better known as KAWS, is at the forefront of a populist movement shaking up the art world. His career as an acclaimed artist and pop-culture phenomenon did not start out on the siloed walls of galleries, but rather, on the streets as a graffiti artist. In the early 1990s, KAWS began tagging bus stops, train stations, and subway cars in Jersey City where he grew up. Speaking about his formative years as a street artist, KAWS said “it meant nothing to me to make paintings if I wasn’t reaching people.”
