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.
