Murakami Takashi 2D

This piece of art work from Murakami Takashi is about the flower ball showing us that each flower is individual as it has its own personalities which is expressed through the different colours and how it conveys the mood of the flowers. Each one of these flowers  dominate in their one way as each one expresses their own cuteness .The flowers are compact , which gives an unease impression but it also give as a great deal of sensation. The mood of this of work gives a happy, exciting and edgy feeling as the flowers give an uncomfortable feeling but it also gives a childish impression as he used vivid colours which makes you smile. I think this work is about the joy as the flowers are seen with smiles but on the other hand it’s kind of creepy as the closeness of the flowers are tightly together. By the view of these flowers, it gives an insight felling of their smell might be as their vibrant colours seem to be intriguing.

This is a painting and the materials that are used are acrylics. Murakami Takashi has used

bright colours and used a 3D shape to make the it a flower ball.

                                                                                                               

Murakami Takashi is a contemporary Japanese artist .he works with paintings and sculptures. As a young Murakami Takashi he was in inspired by manga and anime which lead him to have an ambition, to work in animation industry. He went to Tokoyo University of arts and learnt the essential skills for animation but as he went along with the traditional Japanese style of painting which includes various techniques and conventions however he became disappointed with the high expectation of the art world so he started to search contemporary artistic styles.  Murakami was born in 1962 and he published the theory “super flat”.

This links with my work as it is colourful and cartoonish which would look lively on snow board.

I like Murakami Takashi’s work as it conveys a specific mood by the viewer which

is something that I want my design for my snowboard to be seen as.
