Pleasure of Picasso
팬데믹 동안, 전 세계적으로 인정받는 예술가인 Keiichi Tanaami는 극심한 지루함에 빠져 있었습니다. 그런데 그 지루함을 벗어나게 해준 것은 피카소의 작품이었습니다. Keiichi Tanaami는 거대하고 현대적이며 사이키델릭하며 화려한 작품으로 유명합니다. 실크 스크린 프린팅, 아크릴 그림, 콜라주, 애니메이션 등 다양한 매체에서 능숙하게 작업하며 그의 작품은 세계 각지에서 감탄을 받았습니다. Tanaami는 일본 팝 아트의 선구자로 여겨지며, 그의 예술 경력은 1960년대에 시작되어 당시의 의뢰 예술과 반예술 운동, 마약 실험, 소비문화 등의 분야에서 활약했습니다. Tanaami는 일본의 "카미시바이" 판화극, 미국 B급 영화, 특히 앤디 워홀의 영향을 받아 고유한 스타일을 개발했습니다.
Tanaami는 무사시노 아트 대학에서 그래픽 디자인을 공부하고 광고 및 편집 분야에서 성공적인 경력을 쌓았습니다. 그는 전 세계에서 전시를 개최하며 그의 작품은 뉴욕 현대미술 박물관, 시카고 아트 인스티튜트, 요코하마 미술관, M+ 및 워싱턴 D.C. 국립 초상화 갤러리 등에 속합니다. Tanaami는 Adidas, Bearbrick 및 Uniqlo와 같은 브랜드와 협업한 경험이 있습니다.
During the pandemic, globally acclaimed Keiichi Tanaami found himself on the brink of utter boredom. What got him out of his funk was Picasso. Keiichi Tanaami is known for his monstrous, contemporary, downright psychedelic, and kaleidoscopic pieces. A master of silk screening, acrylic painting, collage, animation, and more, his art has countlessly whirled around the globe. Tanaami is considered the precursor of the Superflat movement. Being affected by the war and post-war Japan, many of these traumatic experiences appear in his art, whether it’s air raids, explosions, or the bright flip-side of the 60s, creating an altogether enigmatic constitution of his dreams and memories. Exploring his past and present is an important piece of the puzzle that makes Tanaami, who transcribes these visions to be shared with the world. However, having a dry spell when everything you’ve ever known brakes suddenly is understandable. Unable to resume his projects and works, Tanaami turned to one of his most fond paintings by Picasso “Mother and Child” and created a replica. He realized he thoroughly enjoyed this process of mindless painting and based himself on this type of work to create a collection of over 400 Picasso-inspired paintings. Tanaami focused on a new canvas while repeating what he remembered from his last canvas, creating a sequence similar to “a game of Chinese whispers”. Mizuki Khoury
Keiichi Tanaami is looked upon as the forerunner of Japanese Pop Art and is one of the country’s most influential artists. His career began in the 1960s in the field of tension, typical of the time, between commissioned art and the anti-art movement, experiments with drugs and consumer culture. Under the influence of the Japanese cardboard-theatre “Kamishibai”, American B-movies and in particular Andy Warhol, Tanaami developed a style very much his own.
Keiichi Tanaamistudied graphic design at Musashino Art University and established a successful advertising and editorial career. Encounters with Japan’s Neo-Dada scene and Andy Warhol’s work inspired him to focus on fine art. Tanaami has exhibited widely across the globe, and his work belongs in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, Yokohama Museum of Art, M+, and the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., among others. Tanaami has collaborated with brands including Adidas, Bearbrick, and Uniqlo.
