Name: Acupuncture – Opening Wide Squeezing Tight
Brand: Takashi Murakami
Rating: 5 (231 reviews)

Japanese artist, Takashi Murakami, has become an icon of international contemporary art by melding Japanese aesthetics with global pop culture. His Neo-Pop Art style has seen him create kitschy characters that are instantly recognisable to the masses and are symbolic of a colourful consumerism. Murakami has also pioneered the term 'superflat' which refers to the flattened quality of Japanese visual culture which his works embrace. Successfully blurring the lines between high and commercial art, Murakami has collaborated with industry giants such as Pharrell Williams, Virgil Abloh, and Louis Vuitton.
