KAWS At The Skartsted Gallery.

Kaws is truly one of our favorite artists and whenever we get a notification that Kaws is in the city we run!! We recently saw the most savviest exhibit of KAWS curated at the Skartsted gallery. It was simple and quaint. Not crowded at all. The exhibit was free and we were in and out within half an hour. Noah just loves these sculptures and is always amazed at all the art we see here in the city. He's very particular when it comes to art. For example, as much as he thinks The Met is the coolest building it's not his favorite museum. When knows...maybe when he grows older he will appreciate The Met as much as I do! He loves the AMNH and anywhere where they have KAWS exhibit as well as museums with an immersive installation. We had a nice quite time gazing at these magnificent statues and paintings. Such an intelligent work of art! 

KAWS - WHAT PARTY

 

When I found out that tickets went on sale for the KAWS exhibit I immediately snagged some but had to wait three weeks to go. When the day finally came we were super excited. Noah is really picky when it comes to art and this one did not disappoint. KAWS has become his number one favorite artist and we literally could have been here all day. Noah was enthralled with all of his sculptures and paintings and even begged me to buy a boba feat sculpture but to no avail. They were all sold out. At least we left with some postcards and a couple of key chains. Nonetheless this exhibit was absolutely epic. The artist is originally from Jersey and is now based in Brooklyn. From what I read a lot of his characters are used to express human relationships, emotions, and states of mind. And his signature is a bunch of x's which I think is unique. There's also a lot of fragmented figurative and landscape imagery in his paintings. I captured a lot of shots of his work and they are sooooo freaking beautiful. Wish I could buy at least one painting and get a boba fett for Noah. Not sure I want to buy one for 400 bucks though! Here's a little 15 second video of some of his favorite figures.
