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 cartoon body supports a cratered moon, turning an image of rest into an encounter between bodily weight and an unreachable scale. The artist profile identifies X-shaped eyes and exaggerated features as recurring elements in KAWS’s figures. Here, the X marks repeat across eye and glove, binding face and gesture into one economical graphic system.In the photograph, the low horizontal figure is countered by a large sphere poised above its torso. Bent limbs and oversized shoes anchor the body, while the moon concentrates attention at the raised hand.Catalogued as vinyl with a fluorescent moon component, the sculpture pairs smooth, simplified volumes with a visibly pitted sphere. Fluorescence may allow the moon to retain visual emphasis as lighting changes, although the photograph does not demonstrate that effect.At 24.1 by 12.7 cm, this 2024 sculpture translates a cosmic subject into an intimate object. Its interpretive force lies in that compression: the moon becomes something held, yet still large enough to dominate the figure.
