Brian Donnelly's (KAWS) first solo museum exhibition opened on June 27 at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. Gracefully infusing commercial pop culture with ludicrous street art, it is easy to see from his sketches and paintings to his figurines and poster modifications that KAWS has an uncanny talent for adding his signature touch to well established trademarks. Bright colors, comforting contours, cartoon-esque depictions - the art is both whimsical yet provocative; exploring iconic conceptions, but also raising questions about the extent to which commercialism has taken over our world.
