Takashi Murakami in BK!!!

Photobucket


It seemed like everyone came out to the museum last night to view the amazing exhibit by the adored Murakami! Young and old, skateboarders, artist, breakdancers and electic individuals from all walks of life were in the place to be!!!!!!!! It was a night filled with great music, hot air(lol) and just simply a good vibe. Louis Vuitton graciously issued very exclusive limited edition Murakami Louis accesories and bags ranging from $500 to about $3,000 for purchase. For those who aren't familiar with Murakami's work and Japanese artistic culture, please do visit the exhibit to get an idea. Murakami's work is adorned by admirers like Kanye West, Marc Jacobs and many other's. Murakami's work is so loved by many because it fuses everything derived from popular culture that has ever been commercialized. His inspiration ranges from animation, comics, sex and fashion. It sort of made me feel like I was looking at a visual collage that sumed up everything I'd ever loved, hated and remembered in my innocent days. The bright colors tickled my memory and reminded me of the curious days of childhood. It's truly a breath of fresh of air to know that in this day and age there's an artist that can connect with us that way. To find out more about Murakami and the exhibit go to http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/murakami/.

Below check out the cool pics of all the fun and excitement that myself, Kai,"The Bedstuy-Bond Girl(I'm working on a name change, lol) and Mademoiselle Madge had last night!!!!!!!!!!
