ARAKI NUBOYOSHI

BIO

Araki is one of the most recognized photographers in Japan who has been focusing his work in themes of Eros, Thanatos (sex, death) as well as impermanence in life. Araki has since built his autobiographical, “I-photography” style (named after ‘I-novels’ in literature) with photographs of his private life; daily and sexual scenes in Tokyo; “story-photography” composed of series of photographs; sensational portraits that resemble pornographic paintings back in Edo period; as well as photographs of flowers, food, sky, closely capturing the beauty in various kinds of subjects.
