Shunga Shunga, 21.10.21
For this series of small drawings, I was inspired by sublime 19th-century Japanese Shunga prints. Here, however, the man is reduced to a mechanical skeleton—a robotic being driven by hormones and lust. The female body, on the other hand, remains fully carnal, sensual, generous, voluptuous, and desirable.
The title was inspired by the infamous 'Bunga Bunga' parties associated with Silvio Berlusconi.
Voor deze reeks kleine tekeningen was ik geïnspireerd door de sublieme 19de-eeuwse Japanse Shunga prenten. Hier is de man echter gereduceerd tot een mechanisch skelet, een robotisch wezen aangedreven door hormonen en lust. Het vrouwenlichaam daarentegen blijft voluit vleselijk, zinnelijk, genereus, weelderig en begeerlijk.
De titel is geïnspireerd door de beruchte Bunga Bunga feestjes, getekend Silvio Berlusconi.
