KAWS' latest solo exhibition, THERAPY, invites viewers to explore deep emotional landscapes through familiar characters reimagined in new contexts. Hosted at Galerie Max Hetzler until August 9, 2025, the exhibit showcases a series of paintings and a striking sculpture, featuring his character CHUM. The artworks delve into themes of vulnerability and self-reflection, contrasting chaotic backgrounds with clean outlines to symbolize internal conflict. The centerpiece sculpture, SPACE (2023), reframes the beloved COMPANION figure in a thoughtful, introspective light rather than as mere entertainment.
The exhibition THERAPY offers a raw, stylized dive into vulnerability, self-reflection, and quiet confrontation with the inner self, redefining cartoon iconography.
KAWS leans into emotional territory with THERAPY, using familiar figures to comment on coping, grieving, and processing internal conflict.
