Murakami describes superflat as, \u201cAn unbalanced image is drawn that develops a minimal balance as it spreads out towards each of the four corners the frame.\u201d With this style, the viewer must use their sense of perspective to get a spatial understanding of the 2-dimensional image that seems as if it were trying desperately to enter into that 3rd dimension. Since the viewer must process the image in sections to get an understanding of that depth, this style has been said to control the velocity of the observer&#8217;s gaze as it travels over the surface in a zigzag pattern. This trick has been used by many \u201ceccentric artists\u201d dating all the way back to Japan\u2019s Edo period which is where Murakami gets much of his inspiration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jason Houle &#8211; USCGA &#8211; jhoule4.98@gmail.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creator: Takashi Murakami Title: The Castle of Tin Tin Work Type: Paintings Date: 1998 Location:exhibited at Brooklyn Museum of Art,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":1236,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[3],"class_list":["post-1235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-image","tag-japan","wpcat-18-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1235"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1235\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1242,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1235\/revisions\/1242"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1236"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
