Takashi Murakami @ Gagosian Gallery

Renowned Japanese artist, Takashi Murakami, most famously known for contributions to the pop art culture tackles more adult issues at his exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery in London. Comprising of a variation of paintings and sculptures, Murakami touches on the Japanese male's sexual complex and the disassociation of reality through manga porn, or 'hentai'.
The most eye-catching piece would have to be the three meter sculpture of a manga girl who looks as if she has difficulty holding up her massive-sized breasts. A few other interesting exhibits include paintings of abnormally large, engorged private parts and paintings that compare the realistic female form with commonly drawn manga girls.
For more information and a video tour of the exhibition, go to Gagosian Gallery.
