Honor Fraser is pleased to present Hold The Line starting September 10th, KAWS’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. In a new group of paintings and sculpture, Brooklyn-based artist KAWS delivers stylized adaptations of visual icons in American animation. Along with the existential emotive and psychotropic narrative avenues KAWS opens up for his altered versions of iconic animated characters, the artist’s works also provide the viewer with a richly rewarding and expansive formal consideration. In Hold The Line, a large group of tondo paintings feature extreme close-ups of the face of KAWSBob, a recurring subject in the works on canvas.

The circular edges of the picture plane resonate with cartoonish facial features: the scaled-up, concisely-painted, hard-edged curves of eyelids, undulating nose, and blocky, rectangular teeth are zoomed and cropped to an extent that offers the face as a kind of color field.

The Timberland Premium Waterproof Boot is a worldwide footwear icon, long appreciated for its rugged styling and dependability in the outdoors. Thanks to the design and material innovations featured with its debut in the fall of 1973 the boot has remained largely unchanged since then, but for the fall 2011 season that all changes. This upcoming season sees Timberland’s exclusive anti-fatigue technology absorbing shock and returning energy to keep feet comfortable all day. The boots will feature premium full-grain and nubuck leathers that are waterproof and durable, classic rubber lug outsoles that provide traction and padded collars that create a comfortable fit around the ankle. The anti-fatigue comfort footbed and flexible forefoot construction will be introduced in a range of Timberland men’s silhouettes for fall 2011 seeing the release of the 6” Premium, Roll-Top, Flat Wedge, Chukka, Winter Lug and Oxford. The updated boots will hit retail stores worldwide in mid-August.
