Takashi Murakami's Blue Velvet gathers smiling flowers into a buoyant cluster against a deep violet ground. Large blue blooms anchor the composition, while smaller flowers in pink, yellow and green create bright accents around them. Repeated round faces and crisp outlines give the image a playful rhythm, balancing a cool palette with exuberant expressions.
