“Shunga Pop” é a primeira exposição individual de Felipe Yung “Flip” em Londres.

O artista mostra a estética irônica da pop art dentro de um universo particular como o da pornografia oriental.

Há indícios de que a produção dos desenhos eróticos denominados Shunga (séc. XVI), era para consumo exclusivo da corte. Foram precisos centenas de anos para que esta arte fosse popularizada e o objetivo destas gravuras não era exclusivamente o prazer e estimulo visual, mas também educação sexual das práticas preliminares até a higiene. No Ocidente, elas provavelmente seriam censuradas pelas formas explicitas e desproporcionais dos órgãos sexuais.

Flip faz parte da Famiglia Baglione, vive em São Paulo, cidade cosmopolita como Nova York e Londres e com a maior população japonesa fora do Japão. Por ter múltiplas raízes culturais possui grande admiração e influência pela cultura e filosofia oriental, presença marcante em seu trabalho.

A exposição conta com pinturas feitas em papel artesanalmente impressos em Kyoto no Japão. De forma maliciosa as imagens sem pudores sugerem paradoxos, pois existe um diálogo de elementos sexuais com personagens infantis e padronagens vibrantes.

“Shunga Pop” is Felipe Yung “Flip”'s first solo exhibition in London.
The artist shows the ironic aesthetics of pop art within a particular universe such as oriental pornography.

There are indicators that the production of erotic drawings denominated Shunga (cent. XVI) was meant exclusively for the court. It took hundreds of years for this art to be popularized and the purpose of such images were not exclusively for pleasure and visual stimulus, but also for sexual education from foreplay practices to proper hygiene. In the Western World, they would have probably been censored due to its explicit and out of proportion sexual organs.

Flip is part of Famiglia Baglione and lives in São Paulo, as cosmopolitan a city as New York and London, home to the largest Japanese population outside Japan. Due to his multiple cultural roots, the artist has great admiration and is largely influenced by the oriental culture and philosophy, a constant element in his artwork.

The exhibition features paintings executed on handmade paper originally printed in Kyoto, Japan. In a malicious way the images lacking decorum suggest paradoxes, once there is dialogue between sexual elements ibrandtand childish characters and vibrant patterns.
