SAGI-NO-IKE HEIKURO WRESTLING A GIANT SNAKE
(Acrylic paint)
The original woodblock print “Sagi-no-ike Heikuro wrestling a giant snake” (1834-1835) by Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) has been transformed from woodblocks to tattoos and various mediums throughout history. Here’s my remix of the classic woodblock print into a more modern, graphic approach.

My first oil painting. No particular inspiration, but ended up looking like a crying woman, and hence the title “woman.”

Day 6. Added white and green acrylic directly on the bottom left corner to shift the balance to the left. Used straight acrylic to add texture and power. Now there’s too much happening. Need to add thin layer on top to wrap this artwork up.
