Finally getting the acclaim he deserves, modern Japanese artist Takashi Murakami’s piece gets to be the featured art work in today’s Google page. Celebrating the longest day of the year with most daylight, Murakami’s doodle brightens up the white page with its characters seen in his “Kaikaikik News” and “The Double Helix Reversal” and those colorful grinning flowers in “Flower Ball.” The pink sun in the middle is Murakami’s signature quasi- minimalist style, both intriguing and entertaining at the same time.
Enjoy his work here.
