In this homage to Francis Bacon, Murakami reinterprets the raw emotional energy of Bacon’s portrait of Isabel Rawsthorne through his Superflat aesthetic. The moiré pattern adds a digital, almost hypnotic texture to the work, blending classical portraiture with contemporary design elements. Murakami’s use of bold colors and flattened forms contrasts with Bacon’s visceral brushstrokes, yet both artists convey a deep psychological intensity. This piece bridges the gap between Western expressionism and Japanese pop culture, paying tribute to Bacon while adding Murakami's characteristic fusion of art history and modern technology.
