Venus #35 by Takeru Amano Explore Mondoir Collection Medium: Acrylic on canvas Dimensions: 127 x 100 cm Year: 2021 Price on request Status: available Why collect this work?A dense, asymmetrical field of hair anchors the figure, turning a familiar nude into a study of how a body can be compressed into a few graphic decisions. The artist profile identifies Venus as a recurring subject in Amano’s practice. Here, the classical name is carried by a contemporary, highly simplified figure rather than by narrative attributes.In the photograph, black hair occupies much of the right side while a pale blue silhouette offsets the bowed head and sloping torso. Sparse peach marks and dark contours make the figure legible without modelling anatomical volume.The documented acrylic-on-canvas medium can enable opaque colour fields and crisp edges. At 127 by 100 cm, the economy of line operates at bodily scale, though the photograph cannot establish exact colour or surface texture.This painting is particularly useful for considering how the inherited category of Venus changes when sensual detail, setting and mythological narrative are stripped back to posture, outline and colour.
