KAWS (American, b.1974) is a notable limited-edition toy and clothing designer. He was born in
Jersey City, NJ, as Brian Donnelly. Growing up in New Jersey, KAWS first became interested in
graffiti in elementary school, where he spent a good deal of time copying graffiti images onto
paper. His first influences were neighborhood children, who painted graffiti images on walls
within his community.
KAWS’s career began as a graffiti artist in New York, NY, in the early 1990s. His images were
seen on billboards, bus stops, and inphone booths. He obtained his BFA from the School of
Visual Arts in New York. Immediately after graduation in 1996, KAWS began working as a
freelance artist for Disney, creating animated backgrounds. Some of his most popular works
include his contributions to 101Dalmations, Daria, and Doug. Once KAWS began to gain
popularity, his graffiti advertisements became highly sought after. He traveled extensively to
work in Paris, London, Germany, and Japan. In 1998, he received the Pernod Liquid Art Award,
which offers a grant to new artists.

可爱和恐怖共存的世界。这位艺术家目前在日本长野工作。受她年轻时的日本漫画和动画的启发，下田的
作品用色彩丰富的插图技术表达了现代的问题。她经常描绘满天星的孩子，把她的人物打扮成类似超人和
魔法少女的英雄服装，这是一个使用魔法的年轻女孩的动漫子类型，通过笔触、文字和拼贴画的并置，揭
示了当代社会的问题和斗争。这样的人物是对基督教将耶稣基督任命为人类救世主的评论，也是我们幻想
中的英雄的一面镜子。他们也代表了我们成人对培养世界儿童的渴望，以及对我们所构建的世界的捍卫。
