Cherry 2005

Takashi Murakami’s 2005 painting “Cherry” is a playful and vibrant example of his signature style, Superflat. The piece features a repeating pattern of red cherries set against a background of the iconic Louis Vuitton monogram. Murakami's work often blends traditional Japanese art with contemporary pop culture, creating a visual language that is both familiar and subversive. The use of the Louis Vuitton logo as a backdrop further emphasizes this fusion, highlighting the interconnectedness of luxury, consumerism, and artistic expression in modern society.
