Lithograph - Hand signed - 100 TAKERU AMANO neon green Venus offset print Limited Edition of 100 Hand Signed The litho measure 25 × 25 cm Perfect conditions - new His world is unique and childlike, inspired by the Japanese culture of the end of the 20th century in which he grew up. Takeru uses classical, philosophical or even mythological subjects and mixes them with neo-pop aesthetics and often a touch of humour. Think of a Venus with a lemon. Or the Virgin Mary sketched in bright neon colours. It can be surprising to see these well-known (Western) icons, from his Tokyo pop perspective, surreal even. His works are featured in the best museums along works by Andy Warhol, Banksy, Damien Hirst, Takashi Murakami, Roy Lichtenstein, Nara Yoshimoto and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
