About the artist
Amano delves into the manga aesthetics and creates portraits, drawn by simplicity and expressiveness, effectively creating modern icons. His works can be understood both within the Japanese culture and from a Western standpoint, as manga exposure permeates the culture and hybridizes itself. The simplicity of the characters facilitate the broad identification process between the viewer and the image. He can create delicate portraits as well as spray painted faces executed at the speed of light - as both facets of the same process - whereby Amano subverts the aesthetics of manga, using its form to bring a profound and different set of feelings.
Urban Spree was proud to exhibit Takeru Amano artworks in December 2021 and to release a limited edition screen print "Venus #2" (last copy available).
