Perception and chaos

The Last Supper is a painting that defies perception and immerses us in a chaotic and dreamlike world. Surround yourself with a group of diners that trigger your senses.

Father of japanese pop art

Created by Keiichi Tanaami, one of the fathers of Japanese pop art, in 2005 the composition presents a festive table reminiscent of the biblical last supper, but with a pop and psychedelic twist.

Restlessness and bewilderment

In front of you are distorted human figures and faces that reflect a range of emotions, from joy and amusement to anguish and fear. The characters, with their distorted features and exaggerated expressions, may make you uneasy and bewildered.

The human condition and culture

Keiichi Tanaami, born in Tokyo in 1936, is characterized by pop, psychedelic and surreal elements, seeking reflections on the human condition and its relationship with culture.
