Kishin Shinoyama (born in 1940) is the master of contemporary Japanese photography. Since his youth, he has been obsessed with female nudes and is Nobuyoshi Araki's only true rival in this field. His nudes, taken from 1959 to the present, create a rollercoaster of emotions, partly due to the ever-changing erotic zeitgeist since the sixties. Art and kitsch, sublimity and vulgarity, joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, classical and pop form the cornerstones of the terrain on which Shinoyama develops his erotic visions. His images are here first presented to the amazed audience as a concentrated charge, as a visual parade of earthly passions between paradise and hell — sensual, sexy, and erotically provocative.
