American contemporary artist KAWS is about to present a new large-scale sculpture in Bangkok along a complementary merchandise collection. Standing at eight meters tall, the ‘BFF’ sculpture evokes a youthful take on an everlasting bond of friendship. The “Best-Friend-Forever” installation takes inspiration from KAWS’ world-renowned “COMPANION” figure. Reminiscent of his artistic style, the new blue sculpture features his trademark enlarged skull and crossbones and crossed out eyes. As part of a partnership with the iconic Central Embassy in Bangkok, KAWS’s ‘BFF’ sculpture will be on display from June 30 to July 31. The installation comes with a highly collectible series of products, realized in collaboration with Hong Kong creative agency AllRightsReserved, including apparel, toys and accessories.
