    Takashi Murakami’s And Then 3000 White piece was inspired by contemporary Western culture, technological advances and authentic Japanese art. By infusing all three influences into one art work, Murakami essentially makes a statement about the rapidly growing impact of globalization in the 21st century.

    The character in the painting is Mr. DOB, who is often regarded as Murakami’s most popular cartoon creation. His name was inspired by Japanese slang and the look of the cartoon is tribute to Japanese animation. The character is also regarded as being influenced by western culture. The letters D, O and B are inscribed on the character’s face.
