Brian Donnelly also known as KAWS is a New York based artist that designs sculptures, toys, and clothing. He initiated his career as a graffiti artist in New Jersey then later moved to New York in 1990. While in New York he began to subvert images on billboards, bus shelters, and phone booth advertisements, abnormally the street art became very popular.
In the 90s he designed and produced limited edition vinyl toys and it became very successful, as the success grew the branch also grew and then clothing became the next addition. KAWS’s mind went into sculptures and painting and the images became universal.
Just yesterday KAWS showcased his first solo museum exhibition in Connecticut at the Aldrich Museum. It included his recent paintings, sculptures, and drawings as well as his iconic street art, clothing and graphic designs. KAWS is the only artist in my eyes that can do no wrong. His pieces bring character and humor and its always refreshing to view the progression of people you idolize.
