Urge (complete portfolio), 2020
"Urge" is a 2020 series of screen prints by the Brooklyn-based artist KAWS (real name Brian Donnelly). It features ten variations of his signature character, Companion, a cross-eyed cartoon figure with an inflated skull and Mickey Mouse-like proportions. Companion is a recurring motif in KAWS' work, instantly recognizable and emblematic of his artistic voice.
Each print in "Urge" depicts Companion in a different vibrant color scheme, with the character's body and background contrasting or complementing each other. The prints are a smaller format, measuring around 17 x 12 inches, and were created alongside a series of paintings featuring Companion exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum.
"Urge" was released as a limited edition portfolio of 250, with some prints also sold individually. The series is a collectible for fans of KAWS and showcases his ability to translate his artistic vision into a graphic medium. The colorful variations on Companion offer a playful and accessible entry point to the world of KAWS.
