Takashi Murakami: Reviving Japanese Art with AI Innovation

Takashi Murakami's latest exhibition at London's Gagosian gallery explores Japan's brutal history through a fresh lens, influenced by the TV series 'Shōgun'. Known for his Superflat manifesto, Murakami blends traditional Japanese art with contemporary pop culture, challenging the distinction between high and low art. His works, including a reinterpretation of the Edo masterpiece 'Rakuchū-Rakugai-zu Byōbu', incorporate motifs like cartoon skulls and gold leaf, reflecting on Kyoto's historical conflicts and the otaku subculture. The exhibition runs until March 8.
