Takashi Murakami

[ResydulDamage]

LOL, for art i have to study an artist who has done something with flowers..aaaand while everyone else studies Van Gogh im going to to this guy ^_^ Murakami FTW!!

[terrinakamura]

Great choice of music for the video

[ov3rclocked]

fuck that shit hahahaha!! its ovious how easy is anime always ripped off from the masters. how does is selling out anime make someone rich? oh like he did. please give back Fujio, miyasaki, CLAMP, and everyone else who has rocked the 70s 80s and 90s their stuff back. thanks.

[MyArtIsABang]

@ov3rclocked Collaborating doesn't mean you're selling out. He's expanding his art, he's a genius.

[EGI313]

Thanks.

[andre2597]

i love this song the chemical bros have nothing on this

[HappyRussians]

Hmm, I don't think the painting at 01:07 is Murakami's but rather some japanese chick's.

[chainbreaker8]

This is awesomeness/creativity/art incarnate. 

[GreekNuffin]

The only thing that made me frown in the video was the guy holding his 90 in. long dick ....

[luigimcc11295]

el mejor artista de todos

[Reike4chan]

I love murakami!

[WaporuJr]

He is great!!!!!!!!!!!

[fromstart2finish]

honestly, is a statue of a man making a lasso of his cum art?

[Naore12]

the one at 1:06 is an Aoshima work. Not Murakami.

[cMagicMac]

what's the song?

Murakami is dope i love his art :)

Big Dream would be to work at KaiKai&KiKi Co. for Murakami

[diddlybop]

at what point did cartoons permeate into fine art?

[AngelloPR]

i love his work!

[kidclam]

(1.06) is not a Murakami work

[realar]

No!!! It's not it's so damn cool!!!

[BrotherShogo]

Yea its done by Chiho Aoshima.

Google Kaikai kiki. : )

[anakatxada]

Murakami = GoD

[jboog06]

All I can think about is chemical brothers, this is like a higher pitch, weaker version than theirs. Hey! So its ok to show a penis busting one, but not humungous tits shooting milk. 3:55 Not fair...

[jamesharvey]

I think there's room enough in the world for both versions of Star Guitar

[jboog06]

Yeah, there is, don't know whats original or copied, or something else, but i like the chem. bros. version better, that's all.

[DarkShonobi]

>__>

(yes you are)

[NekoxxLysha]

@dillonXOXO First of all, it's 'stupid'. Second of all, it's 'cunt'. Learn how to spell. :I

[jamesharvey]

What's wrong with doing fake? A bag's a fucking bag

[MickeyTheMoogle]

His art is a big inspiration to me. I myself am an artist, but I have never seen anything like this. Takashi Murakami, you are a true artist. :)

[lizzydizzyx3]

I went to a murakami exhibition just tuesday ^^

it was great!

[Pucca00luvs00Garu]

His style of art is inspiring. :D

[nirvanaincage]

That's just art with pure esthetics. There's nothing much profound.

[savingthesquid]

Superflat is a postmodern art movement, founded by the artist Takashi Murakami, which is influenced by manga and anime.[1] It is also the name of a 2001 art exhibition, curated by Murakami, that toured West Hollywood, Minneapolis and Seattle.[2] The term is used by Murakami to refer to various flattened forms in Japanese graphic art, animation, pop culture and fine arts, as well as the "shallow emptiness of Japanese consumer culture."

Kind of the point, ace.

[nirvanaincage]

That's exactly what irritates me, the shallowness and emptiness of it. I personally believe art should be constructive and as a visual artist myself I insist on such principle. It's fine appreciating esthetics but we mustn't forget the true essence of art.

BTW, I must say the colour usage is pretty attractive.

[Synaesthesiae]

"LOL"

[Pat1975]

This is Disney on LSD mixed with a little Alice in Wonderland. Japanese always seem to save a little childishness throughout their lives. Ugly but definitly avant garde!

[tekneek1987]

I love both this movie as well as the song, for some reason it just makes me feel happy!

[ismite123]

omg kanya? the most rcist person ever! i hates me a cracker or any cracker. anyone thats white in any way. in fact i will only visit doctors that are black.....oh yeah rip kanya. you know what i mean

[khurit]

yeah RIP kaye west RIP Black culture

[brotos]

He hasn't said anything negative. It was an opinion he stated. No need to attack him.

[GASOLINEMEN]

???

[kikikilly]

They should make the music video for this like the original...train runnin and scenery acting as music notes and drum beats good stuff! id make it if i had the cash

[zooshimi]

Mr. Murakami is third-class artist.

His works be badly done, so nobody is appraise in Japan.

In Japan, there is many talents, they are regardable.

[kikikilly]

If your an artist yourself you should know there is only art.

[jplully]

@kikikilly True, But this is shit

[android17ak47]

ZOMG, anime masturbating manakins :O

[DarkShonobi]

love his work, but why is the anime guy masturbation. lol...

[SimplyLatino]

WOW thanks for the TIP!!!!!

[SimplyLatino]

OMG I CANT WAIT TO GO TO SEE HIS ART IN MYC at the brooklyn museum of art!!!!!!! HE IS MY INSPIRATION!!

[hyperduke]

Este video tiene un error. Hay una imagen de la obra de Chiho Aoshima. (1:06)!!

[SimplyLatino]

yoo seee mnuy buen ojo, ella es muyy bonita ^_~

[rimskys40]

mmm...slurp down those sugary bags. how much do you think my place mat is worth? it's just like warhol, only it isn't at all.

[PozH]

[PurplZqi]

very creative

[irondocsampson]

yeah the exhibition is here now. I just got back from seeing it. Amazing!

[smoK1NG]

kayne west sux donkey balls

[LAtexStretch]

I doubt it.

But you give off the impression that you don't like him.

And you are entitled not to.

[mandervel]

The images that appear on 5:16

and 5:20, which exhibition are they

from?

Please, I need to knoooww...

[paperfeathers]

I think those are from the Geisai exhibition which was held partly at the MOCA. I'm not 100% sure though.

[bwong005]

those are from the Geffen MOCA in LA

[oceanbirth]

it's the geffen moca exhibition in l.a. & it's still running. there's a book of the exhibition that you can buy from the moca store

[xmtizzle]

the exhibit runs through 2/11

[mandervel]

Another thing, the last images

that appear ((5:20)), the ones with

flowers and all that, which exhibition

are they from?

Please please i need to know...

[deadXfish]

um I don't know if this is of any help but they are now in MOCA which is the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and all of those pieces of work are there.

[mandervel]

The image of the buildings isn't murakami's

is another kaikai kiki member's: chiho aoshima
