Forbidden Jungle, a silk scarf by Rockin' Jelly Bean for his Erostika label, a jungle queen among palms and tropical birds, new and unopened in its printed box.
The Piece
Rockin' Jelly Bean is the Japanese painter behind the Erostika label, whose pin-up heroines, hot rods and masked wrestlers borrow the language of 1960s exploitation posters and garage-rock flyers. His silkscreens are pulled in small runs and are collected as eagerly abroad as at home.
Forbidden Jungle takes its cue from the jungle-girl comics and B-movies of the 1950s. A blonde jungle queen in war paint and a tooth necklace, a peacock feather at her ear and a spear in hand, looks out from a riot of palm fronds, pink blossoms and a toucan, all in the saturated colour of his posters.
The scarf is folded in tissue inside a green-lined gift box whose lid carries the same image under the Erostika logo, with a care card and his label card. It is new and has never been taken out.
