About

Nobuyoshi Araki's photography has drawn worldwide attention notably for its erotic content, which blurs the lines between art and pornography. Arguably heralded as Japan's foremost contemporary photographer, he is possibly also the most controversial. Hamiltons is proud to present Araki's first solo exhibition in London since his major retrospective in the Barbican Art Galley in 2005. Kinbaku, meaning bondage. is the signature motif of this specific body of work. Bokuju Kitan / Marvelous Tales of Black Ink. Traditionally used in pornographic works, bondage is rarely associated with artistic motivation. However, since 1979, Araki has depicted the theme through a creative lens. Although considered provocative, he has interpreted this subject matter with imaginative artistry and his works evolve in a poetic dimension.
