ARAKI Ojo Shashu - Photography for the Afterlife: Alluring Hell | Foam

New work Araki till March 11, 2015 @Foam, Amsterdam

A unique show of world acclaimed photographer Nobuyoshi Araki (Tokyo, 1940) called qARADISE, created mainly in 2013, shows colorful flowers arranged with plastic, often broken, toys and dolls against a dark background.

Next to qParadise, at Foam, one of Europe's most prestigious photography museum, Araki shows his series Alluring Hell from 2008. Why did Araki painted over his black-and-white photo's of nude women? Was it sadness, anger, the drive to put color on his black & white ladies, or was it a discovery tour in the dimension between photography and painting? Whatever his motives were, the results are eye-catching as well as confusing.
