About the artwork

Imagine Doraemon, that beloved icon of childhood, hijacked by Takashi Murakami. In this artwork, the familiar contours of the robotic cat's head become a canvas, a portal into fun, vibrant world. Inside, Doraemon and his friends engage in a playful aerial ballet, propelled by their makeshift copters, while Murakami's signature smiling flowers bloom below, a whimsical counterpoint to the familiar cartoon landscape.

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.
