"Primavera -Spring Festa-" by Takeru Amano

Amano’s subjects are often classic Western female figures who have a long history of appearing in painted form; think of Venus and the Virgin Mary. These mythological Greco-Roman icons are then depicted in a 20th Century Japanese style, clean and flat, splashed with Tokyo-pop neon colours.

 He playfully employs the innate freedom of painting, bending mythology to his own will and humour. more
