DescriptionDennis Mukai ** "Deborah".Acrylic on canvas. 48" x 35" Signed and dated 1989. (The year I graduated high school!) Built and constructed while at Mirage Editions, exactly like Nagel canvases. Only two artists like this. The Deborah Driggs canvas was one of a very few featured in Mukai's rare 4 page artist portfolio showcasing Mukai's work in February 1990 issue of Playboy Magazine. Pamela Anderson was Playmate of the Month for February. (Very rare for Playboy to do). Model and muse Deborah Driggs was featured three months in a row in 1990. The Mukai canvas in February the March cover, one of the most collectable issues with future President Donald Trump in which she was also Playmate of the Month, and she featured the cover for April. What a year! It is safe to say Hefner loved Dennis Mukai and Deborah. I do too since I was a teenager. But how many artists got a featured four page spread about their art? "The Art of Dennis Mukai" 1994 full page published by Virtu. Printed in Japan. Mukai achieved International fine art status and more success than his dear friend Patrick Nagel during the 80's...and then into the 90's. Want to learn more? I have had this awhile and it is in my permanent collection, but happy to discuss other options. I am a long time fan and friend of Dennis Mukai and I run PatrickNagelArts on social media. I am second owner. Social/Sharing |

Really nice as it looks like Mukai knew that these colors of teal and purple were going to be really hot for the 90's.
