Murakami x Versailles, old vs new.
The palace gardens all covered in snow was a beautiful sight to behold. Despite having been to Paris many times, I have never stepped foot in Versailles. The Murakami exhibition which ends 12 december finally made me haul myself there despite the cold.
Tongari-kun, Mr Pointy greets us as we entered the whimsical colorful but sometimes dark world of Takashi Murakami. He is such an icon in his creative use of thousands of colors... you are always left speechless when u stand before a giant work of his.
Kaikai & Kiki are 2 of my favorite Murakami characters! I loved the juxtaposition of contemporary Japanese art & old French aristocratic gild & busts.
Miss Ko2... i think i saw her in Frankfurt 2 years ago!
The magnificent Hall of Mirrors.
Flower Matango in the Hall of Mirrors.
And finally, the most happy piece of art - Kawaii - Vacances, Summer Vacation in the Kingdom of the Golden and a carpet full of happy flower faces! The kids were all laughing here & even the museum guard seemed relaxed & friendly.
It was a breath of sunshine in an otherwise freezing & bleak winter afternoon.
