A piece of sweet art: Frisk by Murakami

8 March 2015

On March 5th a great event at Galerie Perrotin in Paris has unveiled the extraordinary result of the cooperation between the famous Japanese artist Takashi Murakami and Frisk, the well known power mint brand: a unique collection of different packs with the unmistakable, brightly colored, trendy design of Takashi Murakami. 

The creative genius of this world famous artist is expressed not only in the tin design but also in the mints, also shaped after three artist's icons: jellyfish eye, daisy, and skull.

Frisk conveys a message of innovation, urban life and hi-style. The artistic cooperation with Murakami is aimed at strengthening the brand message in these areas, as Murakami's outstanding expressive originality has interpreted Frisk values exceptionally well.

Murakami succeeds in combining high art created for museums and collectors with low art applied to objects for mass consumption with his intelligence and never ending creativity.  By blurring the lines between  high culture and pop culture Murakami has created trendy packs inspired by his funny and stimulating artistic imagination.

The limited edition Frisk Murakami tins are available in Japan, France, Belgium and Italy.
