This catalogue documents the first

exhibition in the Middle East by KAWS (Brian Donnelly, born 1974, USA).

The solo show explores his career and vast oeuvre and features paintings

and sculptures made over the past 20 years.

KAWS' imagery has

long possessed a sophisticated, dark humour, revealing the interplay

between art and consumerism, referencing both art history and pop

culture. Donnelly began his career in street art in the 1990s, becoming

synonymous with the name KAWS, a tag that became a staple in his

'sub-vertisments' (modifications of commercial works).

In addition

to more than 40 major pieces exhibited in the Garage Gallery, examples

of commercial collaborations designed by KAWS, among them sneakers,

skateboards, and toys are on view in a separate archive above Café 999. A

massive 5-meter-tall sculpture, COMPANION (PASSING THROUGH) (2013), in the Fire Station courtyard and an inflatable 40-metre public artwork at the Dhow Harbour, HOLIDAY (2019), also serve to highlight the exhibition.
