Shinji Murakami
Heart

Murakami’s playful creations aim at universal appeal. Simultaneously, Murakami is also concerned with the diligent evolution of form, tech, and craft.

Heart was an early 3-dimentional works and has been a vehicle for the artist’s experimentation. He first made it in his original wood block style, and later it was the first form which he flattened.
