Nobuyoshi Araki

Subversive Japanese photographer, Nobuyoshi Araki was born in Tokyo in 1940. He studied at the University of Chiba and graduated in 1963 as a minor engineer and film staging engineer. His career as & nbsp; photographer & nbsp; begins within the advertising agency Dentsu before devoting himself only to the artistic pend of this medium which he exercises and has developed since 1965.Araki, this name sounds like an appeal to anarchy, and For good reason, the artist plays with the spelling of this word, Anaki, to suggest it. His & nbsp; photographs & nbsp; are bathed in the Japanese media and cult universe. In colors or in black and white, the artist will grasp the essence of Tokyo from all his angles. Photographing at every moment and each thing, he is considered one of the most prolific contemporary artists. In 1971, Nobuyoshi Araki married the essayist Aoki Yoko, as cheeky and drumped as him. Together, he formed an impetuous and abundantly creative couple. Following their wedding trip, Araki published a series of photographs relating this event halfway through fiction and the report. Entitled "Sentimental journey" This story in pictures will start the career of Araki. This work will experience a second and sad suite, "Winter Voyage" in 1990, where the artist immortalizes the last days of Yoko, suffering from uterus cancer. An overwhelming series and inclines to controversy given the degree of intimacy towards death which is approached by Araki. But if the artist swept the press and upset his government it is largely for his erotic photographs where Pubic hair is apparent. Desire fascinates him, women captivate him and he knows how to crystallize his passions on glossy paper. He takes many naked photographs, with the practice of Kinbaku as specificity, from a Japanese ancestral art. This exercise consists in tie a person by a sophisticated game of knots, often wrongly close to the bondage. The bodies of his models are kept in suggestive positions, but the face and gaze of women remain stoic, nor ecstasy, if submission does not emerge. Some photographs are painted, but the portraits of women are no less sensual. Death and sex are inseparable for him, and Tokyo is the ideal setting. His works are exhibited worldwide and make him one of the most famous Japanese artists.
