Summary

After its economic collapse in the 1990s, Japan's Superflat movement, epitomized by the work of Takashi Murikami and Yoshimoto Nara, catapulted these and like-minded artists onto the art world stage. Today, an exciting new wave of work follows in their wake. These diverse works reflect an acute consciousness of cultural tradition, while proposing visions of a globalized future. They work in a wide range of medium: drawing, installation, photography, sculpture, textiles, video and site-specific projects.
