Takashi Murakami's Spirited Flowers & Skulls Exhibit Opens. Renowned Japanese artist Takashi Murakami has recently opened his latest exhibition of work titled Flowers & Skulls. The show, his first in Hong Kong, features a number of the contemporary artist's creations that touch on contrasting themes of joy and terror and their coexistence.
Murakami's vibrant images flourish with colorfully animated flowers. Alternatively, there is a collection of skulls depicted in his work that is equally colorful. Each figure serves as a symbol of a differing theme. While flowers often signify peace and happiness, skulls are visual triggers of death and mortality. In addition to his spirited cast of characters, the artist plays with a wide spectrum of color, testing the true source of interpretation of each symbol. Flowers & Skulls is currently on display at the Gagosian Gallery in Hong Kong through February 9, 2013.
