About The Work

Delve into the artistic synthesis of East meets West with “Cowgirls,” a silkscreen print by Hisashi Eguchi. Drawing inspiration from Andy Warhol’s “Triple Elvis,” Eguchi reinterprets this iconic style by replacing Elvis with a beautifully drawn cowgirl. This artwork is a creative homage to Warhol’s use of ink transparency and image layering, capturing the dynamic essence of the original while introducing a unique, contemporary twist. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the print underwent numerous refinements to achieve the perfect balance of dot roughness and ink fading, showcasing the high standards of Kaikai Kiki’s print studios.

Each print is signed and numbered by Eguchi himself, ensuring its status as a collectible piece. The print also features an embossed seal from Kaikai Kiki, affirming its authenticity and connection to the renowned studio. “Cowgirls” is an exquisite representation of female beauty through Eguchi’s lens, rendered with the sophisticated print techniques Japan is known for. This piece stands out as a striking addition to any art collection, blending cultural icons and artistic innovation.
