Rising to prominence in the 1960s, Keiichi Tanaami found early success by creating images now deeply forged in the cultural landscape of both Japan and the United States. He is widely considered to be the progenitor of the Superflat movement, embodied today by Takashi Murakami and Yoshitomo Nara, among others. Tanaami's work first registered the influence of manga and the Neo-Dada movement in Japan, mingling with his childhood experience of the Second World War, a recurring motif via images of air raids, flares, and blasts of white light from the detonation of explosives.
