Venus Over Manhattan is pleased to announce Manhattan Universe, its first exhibition with revered Tokyo-based artist Keiichi Tanaami (b. 1936). Breaking rank by bridging traditions of manga and ukiyo-e with Pop in the postwar period, Tanaami shocked the collective nervous system by incorporating Western contemporary cultural references drawn from animated cartoons and commercial advertisements, giving rise to a truly modern visual language that continues to exert international influence. ------------------------------------------------------#keiichitanaami #田名網敬一 #venusovermanhattan #mahattenuniverse
