Takashi Murakami’s sculptures blend playful, vibrant imagery with a deep exploration of contemporary culture. Drawing from traditional Japanese art and pop culture, his sculptures often feature his iconic smiling flowers, cartoon-like characters and bright, glossy surfaces. Murakami’s use of materials like fibreglass, stainless steel and resin allows for large-scale, dynamic works that engage with both traditional Japanese craft and modern production techniques. Pieces like Flower Matango (d) showcase his signature style of bold colours, exaggerated forms and meticulous craftsmanship.
