Everything about Superflat totally explained
Superflat is a
postmodern art movement, founded by the artist
Takashi Murakami, which is influenced by
manga and
anime. The term is used by Murakami to refer to various flattened forms in Japanese graphic art, animation, pop culture and fine arts, as well as the shallow emptiness of Japanese consumer culture.
In addition to Murakami, artists whose work is considered “Superflat” include
Chiho Aoshima,
Mahomi Kunikata,
Yoshitomo Nara, and
Aya Takano. In addition, some animators within
anime and some
mangaka are considered Superflat, especially
Koji Morimoto (and much of the output of his animation studio
Studio 4°C), and the work of
Hitoshi Tomizawa, author of
Alien 9 and
Milk Closet.
Lolicon art is satirized by works such as those by
Henmaru Machino. These works are an exploration of
otaku sexuality through grotesque and/or distorted images. Other works are more concerned with a fear of growing up. For example, Yoshitomo Nara’s work often features playful graffiti on old Japanese
ukiyo-e executed in a childish manner. And some works focus on the structure and underlying desires that comprise
otaku and overall post-war Japanese culture.
Murakami is influenced by directors such as
Hideaki Anno.
