Brian Donnelly (KAWS)

KAWS

1974, USA. Lives and works in New York.
Painter. KAWS manifested himself for the first time in the early 1990s by painting walls and writing graffiti in and around Jersey City and New York. In the mid-1990s, he began appropriating advertisements from bus shelters and phone booths and painting a graphic, cartoon-like skull-and-crossbones image into them. His work has been influenced by iconic characters from modern pop culture, such as Mickey Mouse, Michelin, and The Simpsons. KAWS’ work treads the fine line between art, commerce, cartoons, and commercials. This work has been exhibited worldwide.

Brian Donnelly (KAWS).
1974, EEUU. Vive y trabaja en Nueva York.
Pintor. Se da a conocer a principios de los 90 pintando graffitis en Nueva Jersey y Nueva York. Más tarde comienzan a hacerse famosas sus intervenciones en los anuncios de moda de las marquesinas de autobuses sobre los que dibuja una calavera con los huesos cruzados. Su trabajo está influenciado por iconos de la cultura moderna, como Mickey Mouse, el muñeco Michelín y los Simpsons, situándose en la delgada frontera entre arte, comercio y publicidad. Ha expuesto en todo el mundo.
