“Thinking Outside the Box - Manga” is a 3D wall sculpture by David Kracov that pays homage to the distinctive style of renowned artist Takashi Murakami. Atop the box sits a bear character, a nod to Murakami's whimsical and colorful aesthetic. Inside the box, a question mark comes to life, meticulously crafted from many of Murakami's signature flowers. This sculpture represents a fusion of Kracov's creative vision with the playful yet profound essence of Manga and Murakami's art. The bear and the vibrant floral question mark serve as symbols of curiosity and exploration, encouraging viewers to think beyond conventional boundaries. Kracov's piece is not only a celebration of Manga and Murakami's influential work but also an invitation to delve into the playful and imaginative world of contemporary art.
Born in Boston, David Kracov studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and began his career in animation with the Brad Pitt feature, ‘Cool World.’ David went on to work with Disney Animation, Don Bluth Animation, Rich Animation, as well as several other studios, before beginning his solo work as a sculptor and painter. Kracov’s vibrant color palette shows up in his unique steel wall sculptures that begin with hundreds of small sketches. David’s meticulous steel work along with his scrutinizing attention to detail allows his sculptures to take on a life of their own, and his famous butterflies take flight. David’s playful and creative works are each a testament to his steady hand and wonderfully unique artistic ideas. His work brings joy and humor to pop art.
