Comments:

This time, “Zao Wou-Ki’s Longing for Flower Paintings” pays homage to one of the most influential figures in 20th-century art. Through this collection, the renowned Chinese painter Zhao Wuji reimagines flowers—a recurring symbol in Murakami’s work—with a unique twist.

The flowers evolve, transforming from cheerful, smiling faces to bold expressions with sharp teeth, capturing a balance of charm and danger that defies convention. This rare exploration of still life, an uncommon theme in Murakami’s creations, showcases his artistic growth, as he once reflected, “I felt like I could paint a still life.”

Step into a world where beauty meets the unexpected—a celebration of artistic legacy and innovation.
