Skulls & Flowers Red

Several dialectically interconnected couples produce variable constellations: abstraction and embodiment, figure and pattern, rhythm and substance, form and matter, stylisation and naturalism. It's a hierarchical composition because it doesn't have a single set focal point.

The bold use of solidly sketched outlines, essential forms, bold and consistent colors, and an experimental take on both composition and perspective, refers to Rinpa style paintings from the early seventeenth century, with a highly ornate and patterned manner. Rinpa is a distinct style of Japanese paintings, textiles, ceramics, and lacquerwares characterized by a bold, graphic ellipsis of natural motifs, the lavish use of expensive mineral and metallic pigments, and innovative brush technique experimentation, all with references to traditional court literature and poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2013\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOffset Lithograph.\u003cbr\u003eSigned and numbered by the artist.\u003cbr\u003eEdition of 300\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e69 X 53 CM\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-01-14T12:21:53+08:00","created_at":"2022-01-13T05:38:58+08:00","vendor":"Takashi Murakami","type":"Prints","tags":["New","price updated","Prints","Takashi Murakami"],"price":275600,"price_min":275600,"price_max":275600,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":344500,"compare_at_price_min":344500,"compare_at_price_max":344500,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43570129928456,"title":"White Frame (Rectangular)","option1":"White Frame (Rectangular)","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Skulls \u0026 Flowers Red - White Frame (Rectangular)","public_title":"White Frame (Rectangular)","options":["White Frame (Rectangular)"],"price":275600,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":344500,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/hypemuseum.jp\/cdn\/shop\/products\/skull_flowers_-_murakami.jpg?v=1664180591","\/\/hypemuseum.jp\/cdn\/shop\/products\/skull_flowers_-_murakami.png?v=1664180592"],"featured_image":"\/\/hypemuseum.jp\/cdn\/shop\/products\/skull_flowers_-_murakami.jpg?v=1664180591","options":["Frame"],"media":[{"alt":"Takashi Murakami-Skulls \u0026 Flowers Red - Takashi Murakami-art print","id":29075513934046,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":981,"width":981,"src":"\/\/hypemuseum.jp\/cdn\/shop\/products\/skull_flowers_-_murakami.jpg?v=1664180591"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":981,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/hypemuseum.jp\/cdn\/shop\/products\/skull_flowers_-_murakami.jpg?v=1664180591","width":981},{"alt":"Takashi Murakami-Skulls \u0026 Flowers Red - Takashi Murakami-art print","id":29075513966814,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":960,"width":960,"src":"\/\/hypemuseum.jp\/cdn\/shop\/products\/skull_flowers_-_murakami.png?v=1664180592"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":960,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/hypemuseum.jp\/cdn\/shop\/products\/skull_flowers_-_murakami.png?v=1664180592","width":960}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMurakami concentrates on two of his most distinctive themes in Skulls \u0026amp; Flowers Red, the smiling flowers and the skulls, which first emerged in the 1990s.
