Keiichi Tanaami
Keiichi Tanaami (1936–2024) created a series of unique works by referencing, distorting, and transforming characters created by Fujio Akatsuka (1935–2008), who was known as the king of gag manga.
In 2021, he created a series of massive gravure art prints based on a proposal from Shueisha Manga-Art Heritage. Titled TANAAMI!! AKATSUKA!! / Revolver, the works were displayed at the Art On Paper art fair in New York in 2023. As a result, the works were added to the New York Public Library collection.
Furthermore, in conjunction with the exhibition TANAAMI!! AKATSUKA!! /That's All Right held at Parco Museum Tokyo, an art book of the same title was published. This collection won the Tokyo ADC Hiromu Hara Award, the JAGDA Award, and the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Prize at the Japan Book Design Awards.
In 2025, at the Art of Manga exhibition (de Young Museum, San Francisco), all six works were presented side by side in the final exhibition room.
Keiichi Tanaami meets Fujio Akatsuka. The time has come for gravure-printed artworks to astonish viewers around the globe.
