Spiral, 2014
Offset lithograph with cold foil stamp and high gloss varnishing on UV paper
26 3/4 x 26 3/4 in 68 x 68 cm
Edition
Edition of 300
This vibrant offset lithograph showcases Murakami's signature kaleidoscopic imagery through a mesmerizing spiral composition. Brilliant flowers with smiling faces swirl against a psychedelic background, rendered in electric blues, hot pinks, and radiant yellows. The cold foil stamping creates luminous metallic accents that shimmer across the surface, while the high gloss varnishing on UV paper gives the work an almost candy-like finish. The perfect square format emphasizes the hypnotic rotation of forms, drawing the viewer into its dizzying center. Created during a prolific period in Murakami's career, this work exemplifies his synthesis of traditional Japanese art, contemporary pop culture, and fine art printmaking. The technical sophistication of the offset lithography process allows for exceptional color saturation and precision, making this edition particularly desirable among collectors. As part of Murakami's ongoing exploration of Superflat aesthetics, the piece bridges commercial appeal and artistic innovation. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
