When Dark Means Bright

The first things to come to mind when I hear Takashi Murakami's name are breast milk jump ropes, Louis Vuitton and Kanye West. With the broadness of his pop culture influence, one can't ignore Murakami as a brand. Now, I'm all about people getting theirs, but there was an element of his commercial pervasiveness that did turn me off. But, when I went to the opening at Gagosian last night and was confronted with his gigantic four-panel painting, titled Picture of Fate: I Am But a Fisherman Who Angles In the Darkness of His Mind, I was completely awestruck. The vibrant colors and pop elements were to die for and I was immediately reminded of why Murakami is so fucking rich and famous.



I was fortunate enough to be hanging out with some of the artists that create his pieces (I won't go down the rabbit whole on this now, but this was totally crazy to me too) and hearing about the process used to create his super-flat pieces was ridic. I mean, silk screening, giant printers, emulsions, and electric sanders in water (to name a few) added a whole new level of depth and respect for me. Regardless of fully understanding what's being communicated, I once again, had my mind blown by things that I will never full understand.

The inviting china-lions, tie dye sunbursts, and multi-colored baby skulls provide an uplifting look at the bad and I can't wait to see the other two panels that will be posted by Monday at the gallery.

Chris Brown on beating Rhianna

Chris Brown digs himself an even deeper hole on Larry King with his moms by his side. I love when Larry asks him how he feels about the abuse he inflicted on Rhianna and he replies "its crazy to me, i'm like, wow". I don't know about you Chris, but when I say "wow" im usualy referring to something I enjoyed. Well played though with the baby blue bow tie, moms, and ambiguous answers. Next best excuse besides insanity is definitely amnesia, especially with violent crimes. Chris has been cut by peers like Jay-Z and Beyonce and ousted from award shows, in other words, his career is pretty much cannon.
