Daikichi Amano: Erotic Horror Portraits

Daikichi Amano is a Japanese photography and video artist. His studio, Genki Genki (good feeling), produces work that is often pseudo-pornographic and invariably involves bugs, dead fish, eels, and whole lot of octopi. I confess I do not know much about him, save for the fact that he inserted an eraser and a toy car into his anus as a child. He works in a decidedly Japanese mode, but can also be seen as a member of the artistic tradition of Bellmer, Balthus, Felicien Rops' Werke, and Freud. Here is a link to his website
