The Japanese artist Takashi Murakami combines highly refined classical Japanese painting techniques with distinctive Pop sensibilities. Known for his “Superflat” style, directly influenced by manga and anime, the artist creates works that explode with color and playfulness. For the 2015–16 ski season, in collaboration with Aspen Skiing Company, Murakami has produced four unique images, all of which embody his trademark visual aesthetic.
As part of the final iteration of the yearlong exhibition Ritual, this intimate offering provides visitors with the opportunity to receive a personalized ritual written with the poet CAConrad. Through the course of an individualized consultation, CAConrad will transform the mundane and chaos of your everyday life into a creative act through a poem unique to each participant.
