Three Panels, graduated colour ink with roll up. / / Original Art Work / Collagraph on BFK Rives 280gsm / 57.5×47cm This print was a product of a very long process of producing a suitable collagraphic plate, experimenting with colours and the gradations of them.

The Courtesan
by crazycancerianA young exotic widow forced to live a low life of being the Courtesan for Japanese high ranking officers during Indonesia’s occupation by…
A long distance call from my aunt who lives in the Netherlands brought me back to a childhood memory of conversing with this elderly widow; who was fond of recounting her glory days during the Japanese occupation in Indonesia (1942-1945).

After falling in love with Ukiyo-e (Japanese Block Prints), I set out on an adventure to create a few pieces inspired by the magnificent art form. However, I wanted to bring the style into modern times… just a little. ;)

The Mistress Historically, the term has denoted a kept woman, who was maintained in a comfortable (or even lavish) lifestyle by a wealthy man so that she will be available for his sexual pleasure. Such a woman could move between the roles of a mistress and a courtesan depending on her situation and environment. Today, however, the word mistress is used primarily to refer to the female lover of a man who is married to another woman; in the case of an unmarried man it is usual to speak of a “girlfriend” or “partner.” Historically a man “kept” a mistress. As the term implies, he was responsible for her debts and provided for her in much the same way as he did his wife, although not legally bound to do so. In more recent and emancipated times, it is more likely that the mistress has a job of her own, and is less, if at all, financially dependent on the man. A mistress is not a prostitute. While a mistress, if “kept”, may essentially be exchanging sex for money, the principal difference is that a mistress keeps herself exclusively reserved for one man, in much the same way as a wife, and there is not so much of a direct quid pro quo between the money and the sex act. There is also usually an emotional and possibly social relationship between a man and his mistress, whereas the relationship to a prostitute is predominantly sexual. The Fractalius Filter, by Redfield, was used to give the vintage effect. Original photo credit: Valarie Apperson/Talamantes
