Filipino creatives, get ready—Takashi Murakami is coming to Graphika Manila 2025!
Known as a game-changer in Japanese contemporary art, Murakami has made waves in the global art scene with his signature "Superflat" style, seamlessly blending fine art with pop culture. From bold, colorful graphics to iconic sculptures and even film, his work is a masterclass in reimagining modern aesthetics.
Of course, no mention of Murakami is complete without his world-famous Murakami Flowers—the cheerful, 12-petal blossoms with smiling faces that have taken over fashion, merchandise, and even luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Vans. His influence stretches from art galleries to streetwear, proving that creativity knows no limits.
