Detailed Description
Superflat is a postmodern art movement, founded by the artist Takashi Murakami, which is characterized by the use of flat, two-dimensional surfaces in both traditional Japanese art (ukiyo-e) and modern manga and anime. The style is often used in conjunction with bright colors and bold patterns. Superflat has been described as a reaction to the “depthless” style of Western art, and has been said to be a return to traditional Japanese values. The movement is also seen as a critique of the Western obsession with materialism and consumerism. Some of the most famous Superflat artists include Takashi Murakami, Yoshitomo Nara, and Aya Takano. Some of the most famous Superflat paintings include “My Lonesome Cowboy” (1998) by Murakami, “Fruit of the Soul” (2000) by Nara, and “Time After Time” (2007) by Takano.
