KAWS | Tension #1, 2019 — available on Composition Gallery
Serigraph
Tension #1 by KAWS is a vibrant and abstract serigraph print that showcases the artist's characteristic use of bold shapes and vivid colors. The composition is filled with overlapping, amorphous forms in hues of blue, green, purple, red, and orange, intersecting with recognizable elements such as KAWS' signature X motif over a bright yellow circle. The layering of shapes creates a dynamic tension, as suggested by the title, while the color palette enhances the energy of the piece. KAWS’ ability to blend abstraction with elements of pop culture is evident in this visually striking work.
