Takashi Murakami is a modern day favorite and a beast. This past weekend in Rome he dominated Gagosian’s space with works that took on a different direction from his previous body of work. Coming back full circle to a more traditional approach to painting, Murakami confirms his foundation as a true artist.
“The combination of red and blue with a creature that has long been thought as a symbol of one’s destiny is my attempt to reaffirm my devotion to art – the creative process for the paintings resembled a prayer offering.”


–Takashi Murakami
