Chum Kaws: A Symbol in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork

In the dynamic world of street pop art and graffiti artwork, specific figures stand out as motifs and cultural touchstones. Among these is the figure, Chum, created by Kaws, the pseudonym of American artist and designer Brian Donnelly. Chum, a character resembling the well-known Michelin Man, has become a recurring theme in Kaws' art, embodying the cross-pollination of commercial branding and artistic expression.

Kaws' Chum: From Street to Gallery

Kaws began his journey as a graffiti artist on the streets of Jersey City and quickly made a name for himself with his subverted advertisements in bus shelters and phone booths. With its inflated body and crossed-out eyes, Chum emerged as a playful critique of consumer culture, echoing the artist's background in subvertising. This character and others in Kaws' oeuvre transitioned from the streets to the galleries, showcasing the fluidity between high art and street art.

The Evolution of Chum in Urban Culture

As Kaws' profile rose in the art world, so did Chum's prominence as a symbol. The character has been rendered in various forms, from vinyl figures to massive inflatable sculptures. Chum exemplifies Kaws' exploration of the relationship between emotional resonance and commercialism, striking a chord with a global audience and becoming a beloved figure.

Chum's Resonance in Pop Art and Beyond

As a subject of Kaws' art, Chum resonates with pop art's themes by blurring the lines between art and branding. This figure has been part of more extensive discussions about what constitutes art in the age of mass production and how familiar commercial icons can be repurposed to serve as mediums for new artistic narratives.
