KAWS，本名布萊恩．唐納利，1974年生於紐澤西,以布魯克林為據點的藝術家。他是一個多面性的藝術家，將自己擅長的「卡通美學」融入於塗鴉作品之中，作品從平面設計、產品到商業設計，繪畫、素描、雕刻、壁畫、絹印等，以打破了藝術和設計的界限，橫跨多品牌合作而呈現前所未有的新潮流格局。
2014年KAWS名為「最後的日子」的藝術展在西班牙的馬拉加當代藝術中心Centro De Arte Contemporáneo De Málaga (CAC de Málaga) 舉行，這是他在美國之外的首次個人博物館展出。本次展覽的作品以前從未展出過，包括木材處理和不同顏色範圍等新元素。在一個大房間展出的六個黑色人物，各種尺寸，姿勢和表情引起了特別的關注。作品中包括了「同伴」（Companion）、「藍色小精靈」（Kurf）和「皮諾丘」（Pinocchio）等經典角色，又無一例外被刷成純黑色，每一個人偶都帶有一定的人類表情。展覽期間KAWS曾說到：「很有趣的是，當我使用青銅或木材製作大幅面的作品時，它被稱為雕塑，但如果我在小尺寸的塑膠上做同樣的作品，它就被稱為玩具」。
KAWS (real name: Brian Donnelly) was born in New Jersey in 1974. A multi-faceted, Brooklyn-based artist, he applies his iconic style of “cartoon aesthetics” to a diversity of graffiti creations. His works include graphic, product, and commercial designs, as well as paintings, sketches, sculptures, murals, and screen prints. Straddling the worlds of art and design while collaborating with a wide span of brands, KAWS has opened up unprecedented possibilities for artistic trends. In 2014, KAWS held an art exhibition titled, Final Days, at the Center of Contemporary Art of Málaga (Centro De Arte Contemporáneo De Málaga) in Spain. This was KAWS’ first solo museum exhibition outside the United States, featuring works that had never been shown before as well as showcasing new elements, such as wood treatment and distinct color ranges. The six black figures of various sizes, poses, and expressions exhibited in one large room attracted special attention. Classic icons such as Companion, Kurf, and Pinocchio were included in this work, all painted in pure black and wearing specific human-like expressions. As KAWS explained, speaking of his artistic practice of blurring the line between toys and sculptures "To me they involve the same thought process, so it's funny that when I work big in bronze,it's called a sculpture, but something I do that's small and plastic is called a toy...."
