Homage to Francis Bacon Prints by Takashi Murakami: Study of George Dyer and Study of Isabel Rawsthorne.

We’re pleased to be able to offer two classic Takashi Murakami prints. Homage to Francis Bacon consists of Study of George Dyer and Study of Isabel Rawsthorne.

Takashi Murakami Homage to Francis Bacon

Murakami has long been an admirer of Francis Bacon’s work and created his first homage to the great artist in 2004. The work was based on Francis Bacon’s original work Studies of George Dyer and Isabel Rawsthorne, 1970, pictured below.
Francis Bacon - Takashi MurakamiLike the 2004 release, Murakami’s latest edition incorporates his own characters, infusing the same energy and surrealism. Using cold stamp foil in the background, the characters really pop from the paper as the light bounces and plays with the metallic surface. The works are from a limited edition of 300, signed and numbered by Murakami.

New in: Takashi Murakami’s Vapor Trail in the Blue Summer Sky Print

We’re thrilled to offer a new Takashi Murakami’s gem titled Vapor Trail in the Blue Summer Sky.

TAKASHI MURAKAMI Vapor Trail in the Blue Summer Sky

The classic image of brightly coloured flowers on a backdrop of a beautiful blue sky was one of the very first examples of Murakami’s flower motif which has now become synonymous with the artist.

It’s also the image that was recently used for Takashi Murakami’s Doraemon collaboration. A collaboration that has become legendary in its own right and one that had thousands of visitors fly to Tokyo from around the world to view.

Takashi Murakami’s Vapor Trail in the Blue Summer Sky print.

TAKASHI MURAKAMI Vapor Trail in the Blue Summer Sky

The vibrant and colourful work is from a limited edition of 100 and is executed as a color lithograph. This is quite different from Takashi Murakami’s typical release of 300.

The color lithograph varies from off-set lithograph because it is hand-pulled. This means that the colours are separated during the printing process which leads to a far more vibrant and crafted finish.

Add this classic work to your collection from KUMI Contemporary.

Hush’s art at the Corey Helford Gallery in LA – Nov 25

Street Artist Hush’s latest exhibition at the Corey Helford Gallery in LA represents a great landmark in the artist’s career.

Hush is somewhat of a veteran in the Street Art World. Spending time between the UK, Japan, Europe, Australia and North America, Hush’s monumental rise has lead him to become one of the most collected street artists in the world.

Hush’s art now resembles fine art portraiture; high decorative and with a higher level of finesse. But that doesn’t mean he has lost touch with the street art world; far from it. His murals are ever-present and constantly evolving. Hush’s art prints are gorgeously executed, but done so with a rawness that can only be achieved with years on the street, mastering his style.

Nowadays Hush’s limited edition artwork is often embellished with 22ct Gold and Platinum, multi-layered and finished with a beautiful varnish that plays with the light as it bounces.

Hush’s new body of work at the Corey Helford gallery represents his very best yet. Beautiful compositions of alluring Japanese geishas adorned in wonderful textures and illuminated with precious metals.
