KAWS COMPANION on holiday in Hong Kong

March 26, 2019 by Arseny Vesnin in 2019, Art, Hong-Kong

“COMPANION, a 121-foot-long inflatable sculpture by street artist @KAWS, launched today at Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong. The reclined, monochrome figure is the largest to date for the American artist, with recent previous iterations of the project installed at the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall in Taipei, Taiwan, and on Seokchon Lake in Seoul, South Korea. The figure was purposefully designed to be in a peaceful repose, its crossed-out eyes gazing at the sky above.”

“I was thinking of all the tension in the world, and I wanted to create work that would make people think about relaxing. And there’s nothing more relaxing than lying on your back in water and looking up at the sky”
— Kaws
