Samurai warriors, Geisha women, street graffiti and sex by Artists Gajin Fujita
Samurai warriors, Geisha women, street graffiti and sex come together in a series of new works by LA-born Japanese-American artist Gajin Fujita.
I unfortunately missed an exhibition last month in London, of Fujita’s work, but you can still view samples online and find out where he may next show.
From Wallpaper.com:
Fujita’s carefully crafted panel- and paper-based creations conflate the seemingly disparate aesthetics of American hip-hop culture with traditional Japanese woodblock Ukiyo-e-style print imagery.
The work challenges potential artistic preconceptions. The ostensible delicacy and quiet of the Japanese drawings are undermined by their depictions of graphic sex and physical combat. Conversely, the street art feels decorative, even pretty, rather than destructive or blighting.
Whether as a comment on contrasting artistic styles or as an attempt at personal cultural reconciliation, Fujita’s work feels modern, young and fresh – a pleasant graphic witness to the increasingly connected world in which we all live.
