Araki was born in Tokyo, studied photography during his college years and then went to work at the advertising agency Dentsu, where he met his future wife, the essayist Yōko Araki
Having published over 350 books by 2005, and still more every year, Araki is considered one of the most prolific artists alive or dead in Japan and around the world.
Araki was widely known for his use of contrasting and complimentary colours. The first photo we see theres complimentary colours; red and green, and in the third photo we can see contrasting colours; blue and yellow. Complimentary colours are directly opposite each other in the colour wheel and contrasting colours are almost next to each other.
You are correct about complimentary colours. A better definition for contrasting colours would be that are cool and warm colours and sit on either side of the colour wheel
