INSTINCTOY EDITION

"Kaikai & Kiki Blue Eyes" by Takashi Murakami features his iconic characters Kaikai and Kiki, rendered as playful, colourful figures. Kaikai, in white, sports rabbit ears and a wide, cheerful grin, while Kiki, in pink, has mouse-like ears and a whimsical, spiraled eye. This sculpture exemplifies Murakami's Superflat aesthetic, blending elements of Japanese pop culture with fine art. The vibrant, exaggerated forms and expressive faces highlight Murakami's exploration of cuteness (kawaii) and commercialism. As central figures in Murakami's work, Kaikai and Kiki represent the fusion of traditional and contemporary influences, making this piece a quintessential example of his style.
