KAWS | Tension No. 3, 2019 — available on Composition Gallery
Screenprint in colors on Saunders Waterford - Signed, dated and numbered to lower edge - From the Tension portfolio
Tension No. 3 by KAWS, part of the 2019 Tension portfolio, is a dynamic screen-print on Saunders Waterford paper. The composition is an explosion of bold, overlapping shapes and vivid colors, with a prominent use of red, green, blue, and black. Thick, jagged red lines cut through the design, creating a sense of energy and disruption, while the layered forms and diverse color palette convey depth and movement. KAWS’s graphic approach transforms abstract elements into a cohesive, visually striking work that plays with perception and intensity. This piece exemplifies KAWS's ability to blend street art influences with fine art techniques, resulting in a powerful visual statement.

What is figurative art?
Artwork by Alex Katz

What is figurative art?

Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
