Takashi Murakami Quotes

• We want to see the newest things. That is because we want to see the future, even if only momentarily. It is the moment in which, even if we don't completely understand what we have glimpsed, we are nonetheless touched by it. This is what we have come to call art.

• The concept of minimalism is to relax. Like a Zen monk in training, it is something that brings equilibrium to the heart. I don't necessarily think it has any problems, but if I were to force myself to name one, I would say that since the minimalist feeling already includes its own universe, I think it might kill the drive that we would otherwise have to commit the physically impossible and attempt to travel into outer space.

• Arte contemporáneo y manga: ¿qué tienen de común? Nada, ¿verdad? En la industria del manga hay mucha gente con talento, pero el arte contemporáneo funciona con un modelo más bien solitario. Nadie se embarca en una colaboración en el arte contemporáneo para ganar dinero. Sin embargo, en el mundo del manga, todo el mundo se vuelca en la colaboración. Lo más importante es que la industria del manga fomenta constantemente nuevas creaciones y creadores.

• Galleries in the West have probably been looking for exoticism. That's the reason my paintings initially sold well, I think. And then once they started selling, people said my works were very detailed. They may have represented something Japanese to them.
