For a long time, I’ve meant to dedicate a blog post to the art of Namio Harukawa, but Dangerous Minds have beaten me to it so I’ll just link to theirs instead:

‘Japanese artist Namio Harukawa has a singular vision/obsession: women in charge. In virtually all of his paintings and drawings, women radiate the bemusement of the Mona Lisa as they are sexually serviced by men who appear to be little more than appendages of the women’s sexual organs. Astride the faces of hapless males, the women are magnificent in their utterly cruel detachment.

Harukawa, who was born in 1947, has a style that evokes American pulp of the 1940s and 50s with more than just a little bit of Tom Of Finland thrown in.

In taking the phrases “giving head” and “sit on my face” quite literally, Harukawa has spun pussy power into the realms of the absurd. He does with skill and biting humor. Now pull up a face, have a seat, and take a look…’
