Holiday - Shanghai by KAWS Explore Mondoir Collection Medium: Vinyl with a fluorescent moon component Dimensions: 24.1 x 12.7 cm Year: 2024 Price on request Status: available Why collect this work?A reclining figure holds a cratered moon directly above its face, turning apparent rest into an effort of support, scrutiny, or concealment. KAWS’s recurring crossed-eye motif appears on the figure’s face, glove, and shoes. Repetition makes a graphic signature function here as a sign of emotional and bodily closure.Bent knees and oversized shoes anchor the horizontal body, while the nearly spherical moon rises above it. The contrast concentrates attention on the narrow contact between hand and orb.The documented vinyl permits smooth, rounded forms and sharply legible marks. A fluorescent moon component introduces responsiveness to light, although its changing effect cannot be assessed from this photograph.At 24.1 by 12.7 cm, the sculpture compresses a monumental celestial subject into an intimate object. Its interest lies in that reversal of scale: the moon becomes graspable, yet still seems to burden the figure beneath it. About the ArtistKAWS KAWS is an artist featured in the Mondoir Collection.
