Irezumi, the traditional Japanese tattoo meets early 20th century European art in Senju’s painting “Kuchidzuke (kiss)”. This piece is an homage to Gustav Klimt’s world famous and iconic Symbolist painting ” The Kiss”, showing two lovers embracing. Senju has visited this theme on numerous occasions before, resulting in some of his more popular and well liked artworks. Unable to defend himself from the urge for further exploration of his current artistic abilities versus this classic subject matter, this new version was created as an installation in his ongoing series “Irezumi Bijinga“. This series of paintings of beautiful beautiful women adorned with Irezumi tattoos, is an exploration of creative totality, as he is drawing not only on his painting skills and his more than 20 years of deep studies of Japanese culture and art, but also let his more than 30 years experience as a tattoo artist come into play.
This standard edition is limited to 50 signed, numbered and stamped copies in each size and is printed on premium 230 gsm matt proffessional paper using the highest quality printers.
