The Laughing Spider by Keiichi Tanaami at Karma International
Keiichi Tanaami creates art that is inspired by psychedelic culture and pop art. His more personal inspiration came from recreating feelings and images from the war he experienced when he was a child. He displays the horrors of war through the use of disfigured creatures, skeletons, and the illusion of explosions. Tanaami very blatantly appropriates the design of the Smiling Spiders that were created by Odilon Redon. He also appropriated the composition and movement of Katsushika Hokusai's print The Great Wave Off Kanagawa.
