Critique: Takashi Murakami is one of my favourite artists. He has done work for big names such as Louis Vuitton. I really like his style. It's very Japanese, it seems like people in Japan love 'cute' things. And Takashi is great at making 'cute' things. In this piece, it shows skulls lying on earth with smiling flowers around. With the smiling flowers as an exception, it isn't really a cute or happy image. But, his use of colours and shapes definitely create a 'cute' feel for the piece. The earth is in an interesting camouflage pattern. The flowers definitely lighten the mood. I like this art mainly because of the colours.
