Flowers and Skull
Renowned Japanese artist Takashi Murakami has recently opened one of the last exhibitions of his works titled "Flowers and Skull».
This is the first Gongonke show, presented by a contemporary artist, where affected by a contrasting theme - the joy and terror of their coexistence.
Murakami has created bright images of animated colors. In addition, there is a collection of skulls, no less colorful. Each figure is a symbol. While color means peace and happiness of the skull are visual symbols of death. Murakami created a balance and let the opposite thematic logos exist in the same space.
In addition, the artist plays with a wide range of colors. Skulls seem less threatening when they are displayed in bright colors. Conversely, some flowers are in a dark palette and seem more sinister. Murakami blurs the boundaries between high and low art, blurs the line between happiness and fear.
"Flowers and Skull" is currently exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery in Hong Kong. The exhibition will last until February 9, 2013.
