What Party #5 2020

This piece, What Party #5, was made by Kaws, and right away you notice how it's all about these big, bold moves. The color is so upfront, right? It’s got this graphic punch. The surface is super smooth, almost like it's been flattened out, and you can tell Kaws is thinking about how we see things in the world today. It’s like he's playing with this idea of taking something that’s maybe a little sad or dark, and making it pop with color and clean lines. Those crossed-out eyes; you can't miss them, right? It’s like a symbol, and they're so simply done, but they speak volumes. It might remind you a little of someone like Warhol, but maybe with a bit more of an edge to it. Art's always talking to itself, you know? It's like this ongoing conversation, always picking up on what came before and flipping it.
