Artists you should know- Suehiro Maruo

Suehiro Maruo was born in 1956 and has been disturbing people ever since.

Perhaps you’ve seen his work with John Zorn’s Naked City

Or have watched his bizarre work translated into the animated film Mr. Arashi’s Amazing Freak Show (1:40 in is when stuff gets wild).

Or maybe this is your first exposure to Mr. Maruo, and if that’s the case get ready to have your mind blown, his work is some of the most beautifully disgusting stuff we’ve ever seen. All of the following images are pulled from the 1988 book Bloody Ukiyo-e. Enjoy…

    This is brilliant. I adore over the top, destructive and morbid imagery but this adds a very bizarre sense of intimacy to it all, despite how sickening.
