About the Artist:
Born in Japan in 1959, Yoshitomo Nara is best known for his cartoonish paintings of sweet but at the same time sullen children and animals. Studying Art both in Japan and Germany, Nara has consistently drawn inspiration from eastern and western sources.
Nara’s childhood in post-war Japan – a time of increased exposure to Western pop culture such as comic books, Disney animation and popular music – is often cited as an early influence of Nara’s work.
His work often juxtaposes seemingly innocent representations of children or animals with sinister expressions or objects like knives or weapons
Nara’s work are part of several museums’ collections, among others the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the National Museum of Art in Osaka, Japan.

Yoshitomo Nara
Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara is one of the most influential artists to emerge from Japan's Pop art movement in the 1990s. Drawing inspiration from the anime and manga characters that he was exposed to during his childhood, Nara creates characters, usually small children, who possess similar cartoonish qualities, with highly stylized features and especially large eyes. However, Nara's illustrations of children, who are often brandishing weapons, are often more menacing and devilish than they are cute and innocent.
Nara has assembled a cult-like following centered around his childlike illustrations although the themes surrounding his work touch on broader social and cultural topics such as violence and the rigidity of social structures in Japan. While he works mainly in painting and drawing, he also experiments in sculpture and installations.
Since his first solo exhibition at Blum and Poe Gallery in 1984, Nara has had nearly 40 solo exhibitions worldwide, from Iceland to Japan to France to the United States.
