Aida Makoto

Harakiri School Girls. 2006
Painting on canvas, 150 x 200

Aida's gallows humour, comic style painting depicts a group of schoolgirls - apparently very important consumers in Japan - who happily indulge in a collective suicide orgy (seppuku). The painting is a remake of an earlier version.
