FROM ANDY WARHOL TO ANIMAMIX

«Art critic and Shin Chien University professor Victoria Lu first coined the term animamix for a 2004 exhibit that she curated called Fiction Love: Ultra New Visions in Contemporary Art at Tapei's Museum of Contemporary Art...Lu says animamix art has four discernable characteristics: the worship of youth culture, images and objects that are rich in meaning, a new perspective on light influenced by computer technology and blurred distinction between highbrow and lowbrow art into non hierarchical art form...Like Warhol animamix artists take iconic images from popular culture, repackage them and sell them to the highest bidder. Takashi Murakami and Yoshimoto Nara are two exemples».
