So you probably think that wild colors and strange images, incomprehensible figures and outlandish characters in the work of this or that artist mean that their author is not hearsay familiar with "substances" like LSD, and maybe even more abruptly. In some cases, this is the case. But a Japanese graphic artist Keiichi Tanaami - not from this company, although, looking at his paintings, one can doubt this … In fact, the sharp turn towards the colorful psychedelic overtook the artist when he was hospitalized with pleurisy, and there, on a hospital bed, he had a nightmare a dream with trees painted in "torn-eyed" colors. This is how it all began … However, it is also necessary to take into account the fact that Keiichi Tanaami is Japanese, and the brain of the Japanese is structured completely differently than that of all other people. Sometimes it even seems that the Japanese are aliens, they think and feel so amazingly. Thus, psychedelic drawings, as well as sculptures and illustrations created by Tanaami are very popular not only among ordinary people, but they are also used in films, cartoons, clips, in print and even in advertising products.
By the way, the biography of the original artist is also very curious. At one time he had to work as an art director of the Japanese edition of Playboy magazine, and a teacher of painting and graphics, and an illustrator of printed publications, including children's and youth magazines, and even a professor at Kyoto University.
Needless to say, every contemporary artist can turn art into a nightmare (and many make big money on it). But to make a nightmare art - you need a remarkable talent …
