Rose Velvet 2016

"Rose Velvet" (2016) is a colorful and playful work by Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami. This artwork is a prime example of Murakami's signature "Superflat" style. The piece features his iconic flower motif, known as the "Smiling Flower," in various colors and sizes, arranged against a red background with white polka dots. This work captures Murakami's playful approach to high and low art, blending elements of Japanese tradition with pop culture aesthetics.
