Het einde is daar Final days door
KAWS, 2013 Betekenis De grote Companion-figuren van KAWS dragen moedeloosheid, angst, wanhoop, bezwering, bescherming en berusting uit. De grote zombie-werken hebben titels als Final days, At this time, Along the way, Better knowing en Good intentions. Als meerdere figuren bijelkaar gezien worden geeft het de indruk dat de Apocalyps begonnen is. KAWS zegt
met zijn werk geen boodschap uit te dragen: “You just understand that people
come with their own backgrounds and their own history and are going to make
what they want of the work they see. It’s not like I’m trying to reach a
certain person or deliver a certain message. It’s not something you can
control, and it’s not something I want to control. It would be horrible if
everybody saw it and thought the same thoughts.”
In de loop der jaren is Companion iets in uiterlijk
veranderd. KAWS: “Originally
the change started when I made the first toy and had to make another one five
years later. It was the second Companion version. I started to think about
how toys never get old or how these characters never age. I made him a little
taller and a little fatter.” KAWS, atriestennaam voor Brian Donnelly (VS, 1974) Yorkshire
