Exclusive | Art Talk & Reception: KAWS

Curators' Circle is a donor membership program for philanthropists who want to deepen their engagement with art at the AGO.

Curators' Circle events are open to current Curators' Circle Members. Find out more.


Making his Canadian museum debut, Brooklyn-based artist Brian Donnelly (1974), better known as KAWS, bridges the worlds of art, popular culture and commerce with sophisticated humour and insightful appropriation. Renowned for his larger-than-life sculptures of cartoon-inspired characters and exuberant hard-edge paintings that playfully emphasize line and colour, much like 1960s Pop artists, he blurs the boundaries between populist and elite art, bringing mass media imagery into traditional art spaces.
