Takeshi Murata
Takeshi Murata developed an interest in space inspired by his architect parents. OM Rider features the artist’s characteristic absurdist humor and aesthetics–a mélange of highly attuned lighting and composition (in homage to Ken Price), with retro modeling and minimalist, almost antiseptic spaces.
Underlining the temporality of nostalgia, memory, and narratives crafted through cinematic pop culture, the American artist Takeshi Murata has constructed a body of animated works that explore the lifespan of moving images and their role in the shaping of shared cultural histories. Whether abstracting footage culled from 1980s blockbusters like Rambo into a vibrant slurry of sight and sound, or slowing down the introductory credit sequence of the 1970s sitcom Three’s Company to a cryptic melancholic pace, as well as reworking the melodramatic prize package revealing moments from the game show, The Price is Right , Murata employs a variety of animation processes to highlight the decay of media narratives. Utilizing these forms of cinema as material, Murata skillfully manipulates pop culture iconography, not for irony, celebration, or critique, but as a requiem for the mortality of the images of our time, a reminder of the impermanence of mass media and the fleeting lifespan of cultural significance.
