On Wednesday, Liz and I hopped into a cab and headed over to Chelsea to attend the Takashi Murakami exhibit at the Gagosian Gallery in NYC. Takashi Murakami is a contemporary artist, often referred to as Japan’s answer to Andy Warhol. His exhibition “In the Land of the Dead, Stepping on the Tail of a Rainbow” will be on display at the Gagosian from November 10, 2014 to January 17, 2015. Murakami explores the role of Japanese art and religion in relation to natural catastrophes, such as the Great Tohoku Earthquake of 2011.
The exhibition included a number of massive paintings and sculptures including his signature piece, “Murakami-Ego” which was a painting spanning over 100 meters wide inspired by the Tohoku earthquake. This piece was one of my favorite pieces. There was a lot of detail within the painting. Each face of each character depicted its unique expressions, emotions, and dispositions. These paintings took more than eight years to create, and it shows in the great craftsmanship and detail that went into every piece,
While we were exploring the exhibit I captured a few photos of the paintings and sculptures in the exhibit. If you like what you see here, I encourage you to head over to the Gagosian Gallery and check it out if you’re in the New York City area. You won’t be disappointed!
Thanks for visiting. I look forward to posting more exciting articles on here!
