Hokuto’s Backdoor – SOME© (2020)

Description

Hokuto’s Backdoor – Fine Art Print
Stencil & spray paint on canvas, original artwork by SOME© (2020).

Ken Shiro (Fist of the North Star) and Tiger Mask — two icons of Japanese anime culture — are reimagined in an intimate embrace that subverts the hyper-masculine codes of their narratives.

The artwork blends raw strength with tenderness, transforming archetypes of violence and heroism into symbols of vulnerability, affection, and hidden desire.

Set against a blazing orange background, the piece becomes a pop-satirical reflection on identity, love, and the unspoken backdoors of cultural mythologies.

(Original format 120×100 cm – also available as a limited edition print.)
