Inspired by the birth of his first daughter in 2014, KAWS invented a new pose for his signature Companion characters, Clean Slate. In Clean Slate, a parental Companion strides forward while carrying two smaller figures in its arms. “Even though I use a comic language, my figures are not always reflecting the idealistic cartoon view that I grew up on,” the artist explained. “Companion is more real in dealing with contemporary human circumstances. I think when I’m making work it also often mirrors what’s going on with me at that time.
