In another absolute banger from LOMEX, the gallery just opened their second exhibition with Yoshitaka Amano, Apocalypse | 黙示録. Spanning the gallery’s 86 and 89 Walker Street locations, the show consists of a selection of over forty works on paper from Amano’s 2013 Apocalypse series, alongside the display of Amano’s monumental 2002 work "Universe”.
The work of Yoshitaka Amano (b. 1952) has had a far-reaching influence on the history of Japanese art and on Japanese and American popular culture. First coming to prominence in the 1960s working for the Japanese animation company Tatsunoko Productions, Amano’s character designs for franchises such as "G-Force" brought him early widespread acclaim and led to a storied career crafting the aesthetics of numerous anime shows, video games, and comic books.
Amano left Tatsunoko Productions in 1982 and embarked on a career as a fine artist and freelance illustrator. His iconic work on entertainment properties like "Final Fantasy" and "Vampire Hunter D" has garnered him a massive international fan-base.
