Phaidon and Artspace are proud to present a new limited edition screenprint by world-renowned contemporary artist KAWS
Entitled TIDE, the limited edition of 100 silkscreen prints is based on a line drawing of the artist’s original and iconic painting TIDE and is sold together with a hardcover edition of his new Phaidon book.
TIDE depicts one of the artist’s signature COMPANION subjects floating in the ocean illuminated by moonlight. The symphony of blues is vividly rendered through ten layers of silkscreen and ultraviolet ink. Like much of the artist’s work, the image is both playful and subversive, evoking wide-ranging emotions from joy and tranquility to alienation and loneliness.
KAWS’s far-reaching practice both critiques and embraces the challenges of a popular culture dominated by consumerism. With his paintings, sculptures, drawings, installations, and product designs, KAWS is one of the most beloved contemporary multi-media artists, resonating with audiences far beyond museum and gallery spaces and connecting with viewers of all ages around the world.
He has collaborated with prominent international brands, including Uniqlo, Comme des Garçons, Supreme, Nike, Dior, sacai, and General Mills.
