KAWS "Pooekie" Figure (Yellow Edition) – By Jason Freeny x Whatshisname | Mighty Jaxx 2019
We are offering this particularly bold and sought-after vinyl artwork: the "Pooekie" (Yellow Edition). Born from the exceptional collaboration between British artist Whatshisname (Sebastian Burdon) and the undisputed master of pop anatomy, Jason Freeny (via the famous XXRAY series), this piece is produced by the prestigious studio Mighty Jaxx.
A true iconoclastic satire of contemporary art, this work playfully reinterprets Jeff Koons' famous Balloon Dog with delightful dark humor.
The visual power of this figurine lies in a striking double contrast:
Interior/Exterior Duality: The right side displays the smooth, innocent, and ultra-glossy silhouette of a traditional inflatable balloon dog. The left side, dissected, reveals a stunningly realistic beige skeleton (toothed skull, rib cage, spine).
Subversive Posture: The character is captured in a trivial position (defecating). Pushing the concept to its extreme, the excrement itself is sculpted in the form of a small knotted balloon piece.
Features of the piece:
Artists: Whatshisname & Jason Freeny (XXRAY)
Publisher: Mighty Jaxx (Year 2019) – Authenticity markings engraved under the paws.
Finish: High-quality vinyl, "Glossy" finish perfectly mimicking stretched latex.
Condition: Excellent condition. Sold complete with its original box (graphic yellow) and its removable accessory (the balloon-poo).
A masterpiece of the Lowbrow Art movement, ideal for giving your collection a resolutely irreverent, pop, and edgy tone.
💡 The Gallerist's Advice
"This piece is a true manifesto of humor and Pop Culture. To maximize its aesthetic impact, fully embrace the contrast by displaying it in profile (anatomy side visible) in a very minimalist, almost museum-like setting: under a backlit glass dome or on an immaculate shelf. The brilliance of its 'Pop' yellow and the complexity of its anatomical details will immediately catch the eye. It's the archetypal 'Icebreaker' piece that will leave none of your visitors indifferent."
