    Companion Flayed- Black Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy Collectible Artwork by Modern Pop Artist Kaws. 2016 Unopened Package Limited Open Edition 10.5 X 4.5 X 2.5 / 16.7 X 11.4 X 6.4 CM The Companion Flayed: An Icon of KAWS' Street Pop Art Legacy The Companion Flayed Black Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy embodies the pinnacle of KAWS' influence in modern pop and street pop art. Unveiled in 2016, this piece is a profound iteration of the most recognizable figure in KAWS' artistic arsenal, the Companion. The artist has reimagined the Companion multiple times, each version laying bare a new facet of its symbolic resonance. The flayed version, particularly in its stark black form, invites viewers to peer beneath the surface, literally and metaphorically, into the layers composing this contemporary icon. Measuring 10.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 inches, the Companion Flayed stands as a testament to KAWS' ability to manipulate form and content to produce artworks that speak to a generation conversant in the visual language of design, pop culture, and street aesthetics. This series, including full-bodied and flayed versions of the classic character, was released in conjunction with KAWS's exhibition "Where The End Starts" in Fort Worth, Texas. Standing 11 inches tall, the figures were made available through KAWSONE, MoMA, and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, marking a significant moment in the intersection of street art and institutional recognition. Companion Flayed's Role in the Dialogue of Street Pop Art KAWS' Companion Flayed is more than a collectible; it's a conversation piece that delves into the dialogue of what Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork can be. It's a manifestation of KAWS' unique ability to traverse the spectrum of visual art, from anonymous street tags to globally recognized sculptures. The flayed version, with its exposed internal vibrancy, can be seen as a deconstruction of the character itself and the culture from which it originates. The black color of the figure contrasts with the colorful internal details, creating a visual dialogue between the seen and unseen, the external persona, and the internal complexity. The release of this series through prominent art institutions and KAWS' platform, KAWSONE, reflects the evolving landscape where street-inspired art is as much at home in the museum as on the urban wall. It underscores the fluidity of KAWS' art, capable of eliciting a sense of familiarity while challenging perceptions with its dissected form. This feature has become a recurrent theme in his work. KAWS' Impact on the Art Toy Movement and Beyond The Companion Flayed Black Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy is emblematic of KAWS' impact on the burgeoning art toy movement. This movement sees the toy as a canvas for artistic expression, a medium that allows the artist to explore form, concept, and accessibility in new ways. Through figures like the Companion Flayed, KAWS has been pivotal in pushing the boundaries of this movement, garnering attention not only from the realms of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork but also from the wider art community and popular culture. The release of this collectible in a limited open edition signifies the democratizing vision KAWS has for art. While each piece holds the allure of exclusivity, the forthcoming edition format ensures it remains within reach for a diverse audience, aligning with the ethos of street art's accessibility. With its distinctive cross-eyed face and x-ed-out eyes, the Companion Flayed has transcended its role as mere merchandise to become an essential touchstone in contemporary art, embodying the interplay between mass culture and high art that defines KAWS' oeuvre.

"My first batch was done in 2010/2011 and showed during the World's Largest Crappie Festival in Water Valley Mississippi, that was awesome. All are were made using pen, ink, and acrylic. My father was a B-26 pilot and my dad helped instill the interest in the subject. Two of the pieces feature a rock bass morphed with a B-26. These are completely different from what I normally do, whatever 'normal' means. Anyway, these were just a lot of fun to do. Whereas some of the intense pieces that I do I feel I have to do, as to purge it from my system, which works half the time (I tend to carry that stuff with me). I wanted to do these for fun and are a great distraction." - Derek Hess

New Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

The Emergence of New Artists in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

The world of street pop art and graffiti artwork is continuously evolving, with new artists emerging and bringing fresh perspectives and innovative techniques to the forefront. This evolution marks a significant shift in the way street art is perceived and interacted with. In the past, street art and graffiti were often associated with vandalism and social dissent, but today, they are recognized as legitimate and influential forms of artistic expression. This change in perception can largely be attributed to the new wave of artists who are redefining the boundaries of this art form. These new artists often blend traditional graffiti techniques with elements of digital art, sculpture, and installation art, creating a multidimensional experience for the viewer. They are not confined to the walls of the urban landscape but extend their creativity to galleries, digital platforms, and public installations. Their work often addresses contemporary issues such as environmentalism, social justice, and the impact of technology on society, reflecting the concerns and interests of a new generation.

Innovative Trends Shaping Street Pop Art and Graffiti

The current trends in street pop art and graffiti artwork are as diverse as the artists themselves. One notable trend is the use of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies, which allow artists to create interactive experiences that transcend the physical boundaries of traditional street art. These technologies enable viewers to engage with art in new ways, adding a dynamic and immersive element to the street art experience. Another significant trend is the incorporation of eco-friendly and sustainable practices in the creation of street art. Conscious of the environmental impact of their work, many new artists are experimenting with natural, biodegradable materials and non-toxic paints. This shift not only reflects a growing global concern for the environment but also challenges the notion of street art as a contributor to urban decay. Additionally, there is a growing trend of cross-cultural and interdisciplinary collaborations in street art. Artists from different parts of the world are coming together, combining their unique styles and cultural backgrounds to create collaborative works that reflect a global perspective. This trend is not only enriching the street art scene with diverse influences but is also fostering a sense of global community among artists and audiences alike.

Impact of Social Media on New Street Art

The rise of social media has had a profound impact on the visibility and dissemination of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter have become vital tools for new artists to showcase their work, reach wider audiences, and connect with fellow artists and art enthusiasts. Social media has democratized the way art is shared and experienced, breaking down the barriers between the public and the art world. This accessibility has also led to a rapid spread of new styles and ideas, fueling the evolution of street art and graffiti. Artists are now able to gain inspiration from their peers across the globe, leading to a rich and diverse artistic landscape. Social media has also played a crucial role in bringing street art into mainstream consciousness, leading to greater recognition and appreciation of this art form.

The Future of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Looking towards the future, it is evident that street pop art and graffiti artwork will continue to evolve and inspire. The influx of new artists and innovative trends points to a vibrant and dynamic future for this art form. As society changes and new challenges arise, street art will undoubtedly adapt and respond, remaining a relevant and powerful means of expression. The role of technology, the importance of sustainability, and the impact of global connectivity are likely to be key factors shaping the future of street art. As new artists continue to push the boundaries of what is possible, we can expect to see even more groundbreaking and thought-provoking works that challenge our perceptions and engage us in meaningful dialogues about our world.
