Takashi Murakami
Short Summary: Takashi Murakami is an internationally prolific contemporary Japanese artist. He works in fine arts media—such as painting and sculpture—as well as what is conventionally considered commercial media —fashion, merchandise, and animation— and is known for blurring the line between high and low arts. He coined the term superflat, which describes both the aesthetic characteristics of the Japanese artistic tradition and the nature of post-war Japanese culture and society. Superflat is also used as a moniker to describe Murakami’s own artistic style and that of other Japanese artists he has influenced.
How the Artist Has Used Layering:
The idea of layering an image is, "overlapping and overlaying a multiplicity of images, devaluing the sacredness of any one picture." As seen in the above pictures, Murakami uses a multiplicity of different images that he has previously created alongside a varied color scheme, connecting each of the pictures and images to the point where changing an image to just be one piece would make it seem incomplete.
What have you learned about layering? I have learned that sometimes it can be better to use multiple images/videos to create an idea or piece of art instead of just trying to use just one.
How do contemporary artists use layering in their artwork? Montage sequences, emotional value, etc etc
How might you be able to use Layering in your own art? I could use it for a montage sequence (which I currently have planned)
Is there something that you found in your investigation that specifically interested or inspired you?
Nothing yet, but I'm going to keep researching it for something I may like
