TAKASI MURAKAMI
ME AND AIKAI AND KIKI, 2009
68x68cm
In this artwork, Kaikai and Kiki appears on the left and right of the Murakami avatar. Kaikai and
Kiki are often depicted having very different character, one logical and reserved, and the other
loud and spontaneous. Kaikai and Kiki are two sides of Murakami stance in art-making. The three
figures are portrayed against a sea of Murakami smiling flowers, suggesting the fantasy world and
the act of escapism.
