Some of you may have recognized this elephant from a much larger yellow version that was displayed in NY during Takashi Murakami's "LITTLE BOY" exhibition held back in 2005 in Central Park.
Chinatsu Ban, a Japanese artist (born 1973), is the designer behind the elephant+underwear motif. She is currently one of the artists featured under Kaikai Kiki, an art studio launched by Takashi Murakami in 2001 to help produce and promote young Japanese artists. Having studios in Japan and in NY (Brooklyn), they currently have 6 up-and-coming artists under Murakami.
Pictured here is a miniature stuffed version of the previously exhibited, Pan-chan the Elephant, by Chinatsu Ban. Another new addition to our Japan office's collection... (http://english.kaikaikiki.co.jp/)
