Venus by Takeru Amano Explore Mondoir Collection Medium: Acrylic on canvas Dimensions: 70.5 x 70.5 cm Year: 2020 Price on request Status: available Why collect this work?A tightly cropped figure turns the mythic name Venus into a deliberately spare portrait, balancing immediate graphic clarity with an expression that remains difficult to settle. Amano identifies the figure through the title rather than narrative attributes. That choice shifts Venus from classical ideal or goddess toward a contemporary, character-like presence.In the photograph, black hair forms a heavy outer silhouette against yellow, while the pale face and torso occupy most of the square field. Uneven eyes and a short red mouth temper the composition’s symmetry with uncertainty.The documented acrylic-on-canvas medium supports broad, opaque areas and narrow linear accents here. Blue contours separate adjoining pale forms without modelling them into convincing volume.At 70.5 centimetres square, this 2020 painting brings together the scale of a bust portrait and the economy of an icon. It is a useful encounter for considering how mythology persists through stylised, mass-media visual language.
