Description

Four Foot Companion (Brown) (2007) is among KAWS’s most recognizable large-scale vinyl sculptures — a monumental embodiment of his signature character, Companion. Produced in collaboration with MEDICOM TOY, this edition of 100 stands over one meter tall, transforming the artist’s pop-surrealist icon into a sculptural presence of both humor and melancholy. Rendered in earthy brown tones, the figure’s crossed-out eyes and slouched posture evoke vulnerability beneath its cartoon-like exterior. The work exemplifies KAWS’s ongoing dialogue between commercial design and fine art, merging the accessibility of pop culture with the emotional depth of classical figuration. A pivotal piece in KAWS’s early sculptural practice, Four Foot Companion bridges the realms of collectible art and contemporary mythology, encapsulating the artist’s exploration of identity, empathy, and mass production in the 21st century.
