A new gallery in the UAE (United Arab Emirates) marks the occasion with a Takashi Murakami exhibition. This is the celebrated contemporary artist's first solo exhibition in Dubai.
The exhibition, which will run until January 28th, 2023, is put on in partnership between Perrotin and ICD Brookfield Place. The solo show features "a wide range of paintings, sculptures, and installations from Murakami’s recent explorations." Murakami, however, stays true to his classic aesthetic approach.
The exciting solo show at the new gallery in the UAE calls attention to one of the latest projects by the contemporary artist, titled Murakami.Flowers. This is a hybrid NFT project that draws inspiration from "70s Japanese video game graphics and the "Buddhist principle of bonnō, or earthly temptations."
