His sculptures include silkscreened maple hardwood skateboard decks and cast vinyl figurines (polyvinyl chloride), and he has created silkscreen prints, ink drawings with permanent marker, and offset color lithographs on wove paper. Murakami is a filmmaker, too, and has produced paintings in oil and acrylics. The artist is supported by a large production studio and artist management company that he founded called Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd. 

    Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami may be famous among collectors for the psychedelic flowers and chaotic cartoons that populate his prints and paintings, but artists likely know him as the theorist behind the contemporary art movement he calls “Superflat.”

    Partially inspired by the Pop art of Andy Warhol, in which celebrity culture and mundane mass-produced items became the focus of bright and colorful works that both celebrated and criticized consumerism, Murakami’s Superflat encompasses painting, sculpture, digital design and more to present a subversive look at consumerism but is also an effort to blend fine art and lowbrow culture.
