				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Murakami’s traditional training in Nihonga is beautifully reflected in the Korin series. Whilst these works continue to display the face motif that has become synonymous with the artist, they also have a supernatural quality &#8211; due, in part, to the background of recurrent miniature skulls and the titles in this series. These superflat works are highlighted by luxurious shimmering gold and silver layers.</p>
<h2><a href="https://www.kumicontemporary.com/view/takashi-murakami-korin-the-golden-river-print.html">Korin The Golden River, 2022</a></h2>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This luxuriously exuberant piece radiates a gold shimmer, which catches the light from many angles. The meandering golden waves ensure that the colour runs contiguously throughout the work. </span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.kumicontemporary.com/view/takashi-murakami-korin-the-golden-river-print.html"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://www.kumicontemporary.com/art-images/takashi-murakami/takashi_murakami_korin_the_golden_river.jpg" alt="Korin The Golden River, 2022" width="1500" height="1500" /></a></p>
<h2><a href="https://www.kumicontemporary.com/view/takashi-murakami-korin-the-land-beyond-death-bathed-in-light-print.html">Korin The Land Beyond Death Bathed in Light, 2022</a></h2>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The meandering dark river stands in stark contrast to the exquisitely illuminated background motifs. As the title of this piece suggests, it reflects the light that it is bathed in &#8211; adding a shimmering quality. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><a href="https://www.kumicontemporary.com/view/takashi-murakami-korin-the-land-beyond-death-bathed-in-light-print.html"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://www.kumicontemporary.com/art-images/takashi-murakami/takashi_murakami_korin_the_land_beyond_death_bathed_in_light.jpg" alt="Korin The Land Beyond Death Bathed in Light, 2022" width="1500" height="1500" /></a></p>
<h2><a href="https://www.kumicontemporary.com/view/takashi-murakami-red-korin-flowers-blooming-in-the-isle-of-the-dead-print.html">Flowers Blooming in the Isle of the Dead, 2022</a></h2>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The vibrant river running through this piece accentuates the red flower face as they stand against the unilluminated background. This piece oozes spiritual and mystical awe. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><a href="https://www.kumicontemporary.com/view/takashi-murakami-red-korin-flowers-blooming-in-the-isle-of-the-dead-print.html"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://www.kumicontemporary.com/art-images/takashi-murakami/takashi_murakami_flowers_blooming_in_the_isle_of_the_dead.jpg" alt="Flowers Blooming in the Isle of the Dead, 2022" width="1500" height="1500" /></a></p>
<h2><a href="https://www.kumicontemporary.com/view/takashi-murakami-korin-a-return-from-wandering-print.html">A Return from Wandering, 2022</a></h2>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The sinuous cobalt blue river running through this piece is beautifully complemented by the generous waves of gold. The flower motifs pop out against the tenebrous background and are intensified by the brightly coloured leaves. This title alludes to the feeling of freedom and adventure.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><a href="https://www.kumicontemporary.com/view/takashi-murakami-korin-a-return-from-wandering-print.html"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://www.kumicontemporary.com/art-images/takashi-murakami/takashi_murakami_a_return_from_wandering.jpg" alt="A Return from Wandering, 2022" width="1500" height="1500" /></a></p>
