The artwork, titled “Beams,” was created by the artist Tadanori Yokoo in 1997. It is associated with the Pop Art movement and falls under the genre of posters.
The composition of the artwork is vibrant and energetic, showcasing a myriad of colors and elements in a manner characteristic of Pop Art. Central to the piece is an image of the Earth, from which multiple colorful beams emanate in various directions. The beams create a dynamic sense of movement and guide the viewer’s eye throughout the artwork. The background is a complex interplay of textures and colors, with patches of pink, yellow, red, and gray contributing to its overall depth and richness. Two oval portraits of men appear in the upper right and lower left corners, adding a human element to the otherwise abstract and cosmic scene. The beams and portraits together create a feeling of interconnectedness and convey a sense of overlapping realities or perspectives.
