KAWS's imprint on contemporary art is undeniable. Born in 1974 in Jersey City, Brian Donnelly, known as KAWS, has transcended his image as a graffiti artist to become a leading figure on the international art scene. His art, a bridge between the street and the gallery, embodies a new era of cultural recognition.

In the 90s, the young KAWS began leaving his mark on the New York urban landscape. Using sprays and stickers, he took over billboards, giving them new life. He created a series of characters that would become iconic. These were the beginnings of a visual language that would become his signature: a mix of bold graphics, satire, and social commentary that would soon cross oceans.

Companion and Chum are among KAWS's most iconic creations. These figures have emerged from his visual repertoire to become characteristic elements of his work. Companion, with its cartoonish silhouette, is identified by its large, cross-shaped eyes, while the Chum figure adopts the same aesthetic with a touch of humor, recalling the shapes of a traditional clown.

KAWS invests public spaces with his monumental sculptures, creating cultural meeting points in metropolises around the world. These pieces, often spectacular enlargements of his figures, disrupt the traditional view of public sculpture. Through their presence, they engage in a visual conversation with their surroundings, inviting a shared reflection between the artwork and the viewer.

Nestled at 91 Rue Saint-Honoré, in the heart of Paris, Galerie Montorgueil celebrates the art of KAWS by presenting an exceptional collection of his sculptures.

Backed by recognized expertise, our gallery has been marketing KAWS's works for several years, drawing on a vast network of collectors and sellers worldwide (primarily in the United States and Japan). This expertise has become crucial due to the presence of many fakes on the market.

With over 60 works in our catalog, we also offer a custom service, finding specific pieces our clients are looking for through our extensive connections. A wall dedicated to KAWS in our gallery offers a direct immersion into his artistic universe.
