Turn the image upside down and it will look like a man tied to a kite. Maybe once he was going up, now his body falls, dragged by the wooden structure he’s tied to.
I sometimes draw men roped in bondage positions. Often bondage is associated with sex but Shibari is less known in the public culture, hence the bondage reference. Shibari is the Japanese art of knotting a body with intricate rope designs. The person tied up is called a canvas…
I think we all, somehow, consciously or not, tie ourselves to situations, concepts. What the Shibari Canvases always have is trust in the rigger (trust earned in time) and the self-discipline or relaxing in a restricted, often uncomfortable position. It is often a meditation experience for the people involved.
In by bondage/shibari drawings, paintings or sculptures I revere this combo of trust and self-discipline.
Graduate of a European Film Academy and Utrecht Faculty of the Arts. No, figurative art is not dead, it just smells funny, trying to get out of the pile of modern conceptual art corpses. But it cannot exist without an art educated public. So bare with me, there is need of beauty and inspiration, and that will probably not come from a fish-tank exposed in a museum (should artists expose in Aquariums or Natural History Museums?)
