Sagaki Keita is a Japanese artist who draws replicas of famous paintings composed of hundreds of tiny, whimsical cartoon characters.
[1] As with many artists of his generation, Keita is influenced by Japanese manga and anime culture, which he integrates in his art.
His work has been featured in shows around the world, including Japan, Hong Kong, Germany,[2] Taiwan[3] and Portugal.
Instead of working on a draft, Keita draws directly onto the final copy.
[8] Keita recreates iconic depictions of famous people, mainly of the 20th century, as drawings, and tells their biographic events, as well as the contemporary historical environment in the form of his signature whimsical characters.
