"KAWS" Brian Donnelly (New Jersey, 1974). "Cat teeth bank (orange)", 2007. Vinyl. Edition of 400 copies. Remains in original packaging, with anagram. Dimensions: 12,7 cm (diameter); 16,5 x 16,5 cm (box). Round sculpture made of vinyl, in which the author takes advantage of the shape to create a figurative money box. Based on his idiosyncratic language, Kaws uses animation to bring this everyday object to life. He endows the sphere with eyes and an open mouth, which reveals affiliated teeth with a menacing aesthetic. This work belongs to a collection launched by the artist, consisting of four more pieces, which present the same physiognomy, but in a different colour; blue, green and black. Brian Donnelly, known professionally as Kaws (stylised as KAWS), is an American artist and designer. His work includes the repeated use of a cast of figurative characters and motifs, some of which date back to the beginning of his career in the 1990s, initially painted in 2D and later realised in 3D. Some of his characters are his own creations, while others are modified versions of existing icons. Kaws' sculptures range in size from a few centimetres to ten metres tall, and are made of various materials including fibreglass, aluminium, wood, bronze and an inflatable steel pontoon raft. His work is exhibited in galleries and museums, held in permanent collections in public institutions, and avidly collected by individuals, including music producer Swizz Beatz and rapper Pharrell Williams. Several books illustrating his work have been published. He lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, creating sculptures, acrylic paintings on canvas and screen prints, while also collaborating commercially, predominantly on limited edition toys, but also on clothing, skateboards and other products.Kaws' work can be characterised by an emphasis on colour and line, distinctive graphics, such as the repeated use of "x" in the hands and eyes, and a re-appropriation of pop culture icons such as Mickey Mouse, the Michelin Man, the Smurfs, Snoopy, and Snoopy. Snoopy, and SpongeBob SquarePants. His characters are generally depicted in a timid or helpless pose often with their hands over their eyes.
