A director with a lmography laced with violence and melancholy, a TV gure and painter, Kitano Takeshi is a multifaceted artist. In 2010, he created a solo show for the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain titled Gosse de peintre, an unprecedented and extraordinary project in which his imaginative vision and inventiveness were given full rein. For this occasion, he created a series of zoomorphic vases associating a ower with an animal—a playful twist on the art of Ikebana.
