Nobuyoshi Araki at 1018 ART, Madison Avenue, May 10- Jul 25

Exhibition Description:

A selection of eleven unique metallic prints from the Kakyuko series created in 1997 by Nobuyoshi Araki. Influenced by traditional Japanese art forms such as Ukiyo-e prints and the erotic Shunga art of the Seventeenth Century, his photographs involve close-up views of a variety of flowers in their last moments of bloom. Capturing a pivotal moment of beauty, that imparts a sense of permanence to that which is fleeting.

Nobuyoshi Araki was born in Tokyo in 1940 and has continued to live and work there. He is often considered one of the most significant and controversial contemporary photographers and has published more than 300 books documenting his work. His work has been exhibited extensively throughout Japan and internationally.
