Kaws
KAWS, his real name Brian Donnelly, is an American artist and designer born in 1974. He became known in the 1990s by modifying advertising posters in the streets of New York. His style mixes urban art, pop culture and contemporary design, with iconic characters such as Companion, often depicted with cross-shaped eyes.
KAWS blurs the lines between art and commerce, collaborating with brands like Nike, Dior, and Uniqlo, while exhibiting in major museums and galleries around the world. His work, both playful and critical, has made him a key figure in contemporary art.
