Featuring the iconic “X” and cartoon style for which the Brooklyn street artist KAWS is known, You Should Know I Know is a vibrant, engaging work that seizes the viewer’s attention and refuses to let go. The eye darts from the bold red circle shaded by a purple tree above to incongruently flat shapes in the background and again to the undulating curves and organic additions in the foreground. Like a landscape from a fever dream, this colourful screenprint seems to promise adventure to the viewer brave enough to venture in and also sparks caution in the face of such an unfamiliar environment.

Brian Donnelly (born 1974), professionally known as Kaws (stylized as KAWS), is an American artist and designer whose work spans a variety of media. He is widely recognized for his recurring use of figurative characters and motifs, many of which originated in the 1990s. Initially created as 2D paintings, these characters have since been brought to life in 3D forms. Some of these figures are original creations, while others are reinterpretations of familiar icons.
Kaws’ sculptures vary greatly in size, from a few inches to towering installations as tall as ten metres. They are crafted from a range of materials, including fibreglass, aluminium, wood, bronze, and even steel pontoon inflatable rafts. His distinctive style and innovative approach have made his work highly sought after in the art world.
His creations have been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, are part of the permanent collections of public institutions, and are prized by private collectors. Notable admirers of his work include music producer Swizz Beatz, rapper Pharrell Williams, and internet personality PewDiePie. Numerous books showcasing Kaws’ artistic achievements have also been published.
Based in Brooklyn, New York, Kaws produces sculptures, acrylic paintings on canvas, and screen prints. In addition to his gallery and museum work, he is known for his commercial collaborations. These partnerships have included limited-edition toys, as well as clothing, skate decks, and other products. His ability to merge fine art with commercial appeal has solidified his status as one of the most versatile and influential artists of his generation.
