KAWS, the renowned contemporary artist known for his vibrant and engaging works, created the "Lost Time," "Alone Again," and "Far Far Down" paintings in 2018. These works are part of a series that exemplifies his unique ability to blend elements of pop culture with fine art, resulting in pieces that are both visually striking and thought-provoking. The works were notably exhibited in KAWS’ Brooklyn Museum retrospective in 2021.

Each painting in this series features KAWS's signature use of Snoopy and KAWSBOB icons and motifs. The works are also executed in a print series on Saunders Waterford paper, a high-quality material that enhances the vibrancy of the colors and the clarity of the lines. These paintings measure approximately 32 by 53 inches each, making them substantial in size and impact (Sothebys.com) (Sothebys.com).

"Lost Time," "Alone Again," and "Far Far Down" showcase KAWS's skill in creating compositions that are both familiar and unsettling. The characters, rendered with X-marked eyes and exaggerated features, evoke a sense of nostalgia while simultaneously critiquing the commercialization of popular imagery. This blend of the familiar and the subversive is a hallmark of KAWS's work, inviting viewers to reconsider their relationship with the icons of their culture (Artnet).
