About the artwork

The artwork is a perfectly spherical, three-dimensional form, densely covered with Murakami's signature stylized flower motifs. Each flower consists of a central circular face with a simplified, smiling expression, surrounded by rounded, uniform petals. The image clearly exhibits Murakami's 'Superflat' aesthetic, characterized by flat, cartoonish imagery, clean lines, and a lack of traditional depth or perspective.

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.
