The artwork titled “And Then, And Then, And Then And Then, And Then (Red)” was created by the artist Takashi Murakami in 1996. This acrylic on canvas piece, measuring 300 x 300 cm, belongs to the Neo-Pop Art and Superflat movements and is categorized as figurative art.
The artwork showcases Murakami’s signature style, characterized by bold colors and playful, cartoon-like imagery. Prominently displayed is a large, red, mouse-like character with exaggerated features, including big, round eyes and a wide, toothy grin. The background features a textured, distressed look, adding depth and contrast to the vibrant figure in the foreground. The composition reflects Murakami’s interest in merging traditional Japanese art with contemporary pop culture, creating a fascinating blend of the old and the new.
