Have you ever seen this in your Thailand travels and wondered?
The KAWS: Holiday Thailand event features a monumental work set against the unique backdrop of Wat Phra Kaew (the Temple of the Emerald Buddha), at Sanam Luang in Bangkok’s Phra Nakhon district.
The centrepiece of the exhibition is a giant inflatable sculpture — part of an innovative public art project by internationally acclaimed artist Brian Donnelly, known professionally as KAWS. He is best known for his iconic characters, including Skully, Bendy, Chum, and especially Companion.
The exhibition features an 18-metre-tall Companion sculpture seated atop the Earth, gently cradling the Moon. A smaller Companion rests in the larger figure’s lap, symbolising the transmission of knowledge, values and care across generations.
This contemporary art exhibition is open to the public and free of charge, welcoming visitors of all ages until May 25, 2025, from 7.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m.
