About the Item

In Camouflage, Yuji Hiratsuka fuses whimsy and introspection in a vivid composition that balances humor with psychological nuance. A woman with angelic wings carries a serene white hen upon her head, its form both absurd and symbolic. The richly patterned background heightens the theatrical quality, while Hiratsuka’s precise intaglio linework and chine collé textures emphasize themes of disguise, duality, and inner transformation. While the images have some resemblance to traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e prints, their sense of whimsy, satire and irony relate more closely to contemporary life and western sensibilities. Young women and their relationships to shoes, food and fashion provide much of Hiratsuka’s subject matter. Another group of his prints focus on landscape, flowers and floral patterns. Playing on the fantasy princess scenes of a young girl. Hiratsuka’s graphic work has been exhibited in the Americas, Europe and Asia. He has received numerous awards in international competitions. During the last four years he has had 14 solo shows in the United States, and international solo shows in Gabrovo, Bulgaria, Munich, Germany and Geneva, Switzerland.
