The artwork titled “I Recall The Time When My Feet Lifted Off The Ground, Ever So Slightly. – Kôrin – Chrysanthemum” was created by Takashi Murakami in 2009. Belonging to the Neo-Pop Art movement, this figurative piece portrays vivid and intricate depictions of flowers, specifically chrysanthemums, that reflect Murakami’s characteristic blend of traditional Japanese art techniques with contemporary pop culture influences.
In this artwork, a visually arresting collection of chrysanthemums is the focal point, rendered in an array of deep, vivid colors that embody a sense of dynamism and movement. The flowers are set against a backdrop characterized by abstract elements featuring bold, dripping vertical lines of various hues that strewn haphazardly, further enhancing the overall vibrancy of the composition. This interplay between the meticulous detailing of the chrysanthemums and the abstract background creates a juxtaposition that is both captivating and thought-provoking. The bright colors of the blossoms contrast with the darker, more chaotic elements of the background, drawing the viewer’s eye to the delicate floral structures and inviting a contemplation of the harmonious coexistence of the structured and the abstract.
