Superflat Flowers: Takashi Murakami


Superflat Flowers was created in 2010 by Takashi Murakami. Originally, as stated by the artist themselves, this piece was initially created to criticize the shallow, frivolous popular culture. By using elements from Japanese subculture, Murakami created this anime-inspired sculpture composed of two-dimensional flowers. This sculpture reminded me of a mix between Pokemon, Disney, and Looney Toons characters.
