Clash of the History of Art with Pop Culture in Digital Collages Shusaku Takaoka

Shusaku Takaoka is a Japanese graphic designer and an expert at turning history into a hipster. His works hilariously transform some of the classical art world’s most iconic faces into modern city slickers, and we actually wouldn’t be surprised if we saw any of these made-over canvas characters chilling on the subway, or strutting the latest trends on Broadway. But Takaoka didn’t stop there - he’s also reimagined them as movie stars, magazine covers, and even baristas. For more check out his Instagram.

Clocking in at a giant 400 square feet, this tapestry, Triumph of Bacchus, teems with tiny details and hidden narratives.

Here are just three:

At bottom center, Bacchus poses on the world’s largest wine fountain.

To the left, a sad, Eeyore-like donkey waits for satyrs and men to unload grapes from his back.

To the right, a rowdy monkey rides a camel that carries wooden barrels—presumably to be filled with wine.

The tapestry is one of the highlights of the exhibition Woven Gold: Tapestries of Louis XIV. (L.A. folks: final weekend!)

Just a reminder that these herbs are based on traditional remedies and are purposefully vague in relation to their placement in the image. Please do your own research/consult a professional before using any herbs yourself.

Silver Rhyton Terminating in the forepart of a Wildcat with mercury gilding

Parthian (c. 1st Century  BC.)

An object like this was probably a luxury item used in royal courts. This is a fine example of a Rhyton. It ends in the forepart of a panther with a spout in the center of it’s chest. The other end has a wreath of ivy. Both of the panther and ivy are symbols of the god Dionysos whose worship was spread into the east with the invasion of Alexander.
