About the artwork
This scene encapsulates the fun adventures of Doraemon and his fictional companions. Starting from the repetitive flower motifs to fill the background, it serves to unite a composition where laughter and joy are radiating from one character to the other. Overall, the “super flat” aesthetic characterised by two dimensional animation pressed on a wooden block captures Murakami’s success in combining the old and new.
About the artist
Born in Tokyo in 1962, Takashi Murakami is a globally celebrated Japanese artist who masterfully dismantles the barriers between fine art and commercial culture. He coined the term 'Superflat' to define his vibrant, boundary-blurring aesthetic, reflecting both traditional Japanese art and the complexities of post-war Japanese society. Murakami's influential works have captivated audiences worldwide, gracing the halls of prestigious institutions like the Guggenheim Bilbao, MoCA Los Angeles, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
