Takashi Murakami

The Andy Warhol of Japan

Takeshi Murakami, known as the "Andy Warhol of Japan," creates his quirky, one-of-a-kind figures and artwork by drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese painting. Murakami blurs the barriers between high art and low culture, East and West, the past and present by using both conventional media, like as painting and sculpture, as well as commercial media, including fashion and animation.

Dazzling Circus: Embrace Peace And Darkness Within Thy Heart

White Frame Included

Takashi Murakami creates Pink Circus through his distinctive style of candy-colored flowers menacingly mixed with partly-veiled skulls. Embrace Peace and Darkness within Thy Heart is an infinitely extendable, polychromatic world of bright acrylic color and implacable energy that the viewer perceives as an infinitely extendable, polychromatic world of vibrant acrylic color and implacable energy.

Murakami employs his 'Superflat' aesthetic to permute Pop transmutations of the Chrysanthemum and the Skull: key icons in ancient Japanese iconography, on a single representational field, with dizzying exuberance. The present work enacts a rapturous celebration of life, its ephemerality, and its inevitable decay in its literal, visual 'flattening' of the putative polarities of high/low, Western/Asian, and contemporary/ancient art; suggesting – like centuries of Japanese art before it – the mutual entailment of these supposedly opposed entities. Murakami's work is firmly rooted in Japan's dark and chaotic history, but it is filtered through a redemptive hope conveyed in a uniquely Japanese vocabulary.
