WILDSIDE x TAKERU AMANO Collaboration Collection
The WILDSIDE brand, established by Yohji Yamamoto, is known for its boundary-pushing conceptual projects and art-based fashion. On January 9th, 2026, they will unveil a special collaboration collection featuring the renowned contemporary artist Takeru Amano. This event will include a unique exhibition and lottery-style sales of exclusive artworks directly inspired by Amano's iconic motifs.
This collaboration highlights two new paintings titled
"VENUS on pink_1" and
"VENUS on pink_2", both showcasing Amano's signature vivid color palettes and minimalistic linework. The pieces feature a striking pink backdrop, elevating the essence of the classical 'VENUS' theme into a modern interpretation. These artworks serve as limited-edition, WILDSIDE-exclusive creations, distinguishing themselves in the competitive art market.
Amano's artistic style is a blend of traditional religious and still-life subjects infused with elements of pop art, a representation he deems as "NEWART." His work often employs bright yellows and pinks, coupled with simplified lines, to create portraits that convey a sense of ephemerality through motifs like skulls and candles. Over the years, he has showcased his pieces in various prestigious cities, including Tokyo, Hong Kong, New York, London, and Paris. His collaborations extend beyond canvas, having designed artworks for artist albums and fashion apparel.
