Damien Hirst
British · b. 1965
Hirst obsessively combines skull imagery with vibrant floral motifs across prints and multiples, most notably in his spot paintings and diamond skull works, creating the same tension between mortality and decorative beauty seen in this piece.
KAWS
American · b. 1974
KAWS produces limited edition offset lithographs and prints featuring bold graphic imagery rooted in pop surrealism, blending cheerful iconography with darker skull and death motifs in vibrant, flat color palettes that closely parallel this work.
Yoshitomo Nara
Japanese · b. 1959
Nara creates Japanese contemporary prints and works on paper that merge cute pop imagery with underlying menace and mortality themes, sharing the same cultural context, printmaking medium, and pop surrealist duality of innocence and darkness as this Murakami lithograph.
