About the artist
Artist Michael Hartfelder is an enthusiastic representative of the new avant-garde in Pop art, working with minimalist and sometimes surreal depictions of celebrities, places and cultures. He brings all these elements to the canvas, with mostly geometric and reduced forms were the motifs impress with their bright colors and his trademark, the striped background, can be found again and again.
For over 20 years I have been visiting Japan regularly 2-3 times a year, and that is how I came into contact with Sharaku and Hokusai. I was so impressed by the woodblock prints that I bought some for my own collection. Especially in the Corona period, when I can't travel, I miss Japanese culture.Sharaku is the third woodblock image I have created in my minimal Pop Art design. The colours used make it look highly modern and yet timeless.
