Analysis Of Takashi Murakami High And Low - 1961 Words

Eli Brennan 12/1/16 Takashi Murakami: High and Low Post-war Japanese society is a world where High and Low art is blurred together by otaku, such as anime, and social class. However, Takashi Murakami straddles the line. Murakami spills a mix of Nihanga and Otaku into the canvases, plastic toys, handbags, shoes, etc; endorsing his own theory/style named â€Å"Superflat†. Using strategical subject matter such as popular Japanese comic figures combined with ukiyo-e(traditional Japanese block prints), and addressing these contrasting qualities to outside cultures; Murakami intensifies what Pop Art accomplished, art versus material. On other feelings, one could argue that â€Å"Superflat† isn’t a unique, Japan-identified style, that â€Å"Superflat† is a humiliation to the Contemporary Art world because of its commercialism. Lastly, that is a continuation of the already well developed Pop Art. On the supporting side, Murakami’s â€Å"Superflat† is a high-energy, cross-culture style that serves as a new way to represent the high and low of art that is considerably unique to Japan. To support this, Murakami’s past and present artwork will have to be established chronologically to illustrate how the timeline affects his work. Considered one of the more known names in the contemporary art world, Japanese artist Takashi Murakami s work is popping with overly saturated colors and otaku, making it immediately recognizable.
