On Saturday night, KAWS returned to Honor Fraser Gallery with new drawings, paintings, and sculpture in "Man's Best Friend". Hundreds lined up to for a chance to meet the artist, and there was no shortage of instagram selfies. The show offers bold abstractions of his favorite cartoon characters, this time Peanuts. KAWS' technique of superimposing abstract shapes onto his own versions of the characters is almost unreal. Upon close inspection, you won't find any hint of the artist's touch. His work is meant to be taken in as a whole, described as a "landscape" that pays homage to animated icons and 1950s American Expressionism.
