Takeru Amano – Venus Tokyo
From Saturday 14 November until Sunday 29 November, Jaski Gallery will take care of a solo exhibition by Japanese artist Takeru Amano.
The official opening is scheduled for Saturday 14 November, 4 – 7 pm.
Takeru Amano is sometimes referred to as a master of neo pop art. Born in Tokyo in 1977, this artist draws part of his inspiration from American pop art.
Although he now lives and works in the Japanese capital, he resided in New York for three years, from 1997 to 2000, to study sculpture and printmaking. This New York experience has had a lasting influence on his work and has given his style a cosmopolitan dimension.
Takeru Amano was immersed in the art world from an early age. His father, Yoshitaka Amano, is another famous Japanese artist. This internationally renowned illustrator is known for his work on the Final Fantasy video game franchise. Encouraged to explore his talent, Takeru developed his own style over the years, inspired by Japan’s ancient history and late 20th-century Japanese culture.
