Artist Biography: Takashi Murakami, multifaceted artist who works in sculpture, painting, Print, installation... He is called "the Japanese Andy Warhol", a simplistic nickname, which still explains a little of his art. Because Murakami is pure Pop. He draws on popular culture and uses it as a tool. In fact, his typical characters are nowadays a Pop icon in themselves.Takashi Murakami was born and grew up in Tokyo in the 1960s. His goal was to work in animation or manga and so he studied at Tokyo University of the Art, specializing in Nihonga, the traditional Japanese style of painting.With tradition in mind, he became interested in more contemporary styles. A trip to New York led him to draw influences from American art. He also began to focus on popular culture, that "low culture" as opposed to the ?????? "high art", such as the otaku (anime and manga). Superflat was born.Superflat is a postmodern art movement that provides an "outside" interpretation of Japanese popular culture through the eyes of the otaku subculture.Murakami begins to show a critical look at consumerism and sexual fetishism (which prevailed after the Westernization of post-war Japanese culture), capitalist neurosis, repetition, distortion...Murakami creates his own characters such as Mr. Murakami creates his own characters such as Mr. Dob, a kind of self-portrait, the repeated flowers that fill the entire surface, Buddhist images, or hypersexualized drawings.The artist also plays with scales, and often creates large-scale works, or series of the same piece in small format.
