Red Flag (1993) by Kazuo Shiraga is a silkscreen printed on BFK paper (France), issued as an A.P. (artist’s proof) from an edition of 60.

In this work, bold red bands cut across dynamic layers of blue and white strokes, embodying Shiraga’s signature physical energy. Splashes and gestural marks evoke a tension between spontaneity and control, transforming the act of painting into a visible force within the composition.

Set against a dark background, the vivid contrasts intensify the rhythm and impact of the colors, resulting in a work that, despite its print medium, conveys a powerful sense of immediacy and bodily presence.
