A huge-sized work depicting a bridge in dark lighting attracts attention.

Various posters and collages influenced by American comics and pop art also welcome the audience.

The Picasso series, which was preoccupied during the COVID pandemic, filled a room.

[Lee Jung-yeol / Keiichi Tanami Special Exhibition: I think it's a place where you can discover the artist's attitude of continuing to explore the work even though he's already a master and the artist's passion for the work that he constantly wanted to complete.]

{동}This is the first special exhibition of Asian pop art pioneer Keiichi Tanami, called the Andy Warhol of the Orient.

He is an artist who has been active in various fields such as art directors, animators, graphic artists, and designers, and has generated great interest and attention worldwide.

[Lee Jung-yeol / Keiichi Tanami Special Exhibition: He built his own working system by breaking the framework of high and low culture or Eastern and Western, dreams and fantasies, life and death, but not limited to them]

The artist's original work became the forerunner of the Japanese Super Flat Art Movement, which led to Takashi Murakami and Nara Yoshitomo.

The exhibition, which offers 700 paintings, collages, sculptures, and installations by artists who have unfolded a world of unique works, will continue until the end of June.
