Description

SuperFlat is a term coined by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami for his now 15-year-old group exhibition of that name in Los Angeles. Difficult to define, it combines elements of anime and manga and tries to do away with depth — both visually and philosophically. Some see it as a continuation of Andy Warhol’s pop-art revolution of 50 years ago. Whatever, it seems to be gradually catching on around the world.

We bring together half-a-dozen leading creatives who have fallen under the SuperFlat spell to help explain it — through words and graphics.
