【Product details】
A mesmerizing representation from contemporary Japanese art, this piece showcases a young man, distinctively marked with a koi carp tattoo, emblematic of tenacity and determination in Japanese culture. The man's posture, with hands tied back and the nuanced exposure of his fundoshi, introduces a layer of sensuality and vulnerability. His intimate connection with ropes hints at the intricate Japanese practice of "shibari" or "kinbaku", a sophisticated art of rope bondage. This artwork seamlessly combines time-honored Japanese symbols with modern artistic expression, creating a compelling piece that resonates deeply with the heritage and evolution of Japanese art. The artist's unique signature is discernible in the bottom left, attesting to its genuine nature.
Mishima Go's legacy as a pivotal figure in the Showa period's gay erotic art is etched into this work, showcasing his commitment to exploring the solitude and subtle melancholy of the human experience. His depictions go beyond mere form; they narrate stories of the marginalized, resonating deeply with the origins of Japanese gay culture. Go Mishima's art continues to captivate and inspire, as evidenced by the Cali Dewitt x Go Mishima "POETRY READING" exhibition held in Tokyo from January to February 2022. This collaboration showcased Mishima's enduring influence and the ongoing relevance of his work in contemporary art circles.
