Item Description

“A Lady With Tattoo” (2011) is a captivating silkscreen on paper print by internationally acclaimed female street artist, Aiko Nakagawa. This painting represents the artist at her best and most accomplished, with the work combining provocative urban pop-culture iconography with child-like and overtly sexual feminine embellishments that have made her famous. Central to the painting is the naive image of the woman undressed to the waist, to reveal a large, colorful tattoo on her back of a traditional Japanese scene with a man and woman in sexual embrace. Her color palette however is anything but traditional, but is a neo-Pop palette of bright red, orange, blue, purple and green.

Exhibiting on her own since 2008, Nakagawa’s influence has risen as one of the foremost female urban artists of her generation and in 2009 was selected as one of the 15 most influential of mural artists of today by Jeffrey Deitch (MOCA Director, former owner of Deitch Projects, NY). The artist lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

Measurement: 39" x 27 1/2"
