Yoshitomo Nara Skateboard Decks MoMa (complete set of 2 works)
Located in NEW YORK, NY
Yoshitomo Nara MoMA Skateboard Decks (complete set of 2 works):
These Yoshitomo Nara skateboard decks were published MoMa New York and created in 2017 under the supervision of Nara featuring his artworks, 'Welcome Girl' (left) and 'Solid Fist' (right). Complete set of two works. Completely sold-out/out of print. Makes for standout Yoshitomo Nara wall art that hangs with ease.
Medium: Silkscreen on 2 individual maple wood skate decks.
Dimensions: 31 x 8 inches (applies to each individual).
Each housed in original shrink wrapping. Excellent overall condition. Please note minor manufacturing imperfections may be present.
Unsigned from a sold-out/out of print edition of unknown.
Published by MoMa New York. Artist copyright appears on lower front side of each; MoMa stamp reverse side each.
Influenced by elements of popular culture such as anime, manga, Walt Disney cartoons, and punk rock, Yoshitomo Nara creates paintings, sculptures, and drawings of adorable-yet-sinister childlike characters. Painted with simple bold lines, primary colors, and set against empty backgrounds, these small children and animals often share the canvas with text, knives, plants, and cardboard boxes, among other recurring elements.
As one of the fathers and central figures of the Japanese neo-Pop movement, Nara’s work expresses the struggle to find an identity fractured by war, rapid modernization, and an omnipresent visual culture.

Located in Culver City, CA
"Jin’long (Golden Dragon)" 18K Gold Sculpture 7.5 x 1 in Ed. of 5 by Colin Burn
Medium: 24K Yellow Gold, 18K White Gold & Diamonds
Edition of 5
NOTE: preparation time may take up to 8 weeks.
Electroformed 24k gold and diamond olisbos sculpture featuring a traditional Chinese dragon totem symbolizing power, strength and good luck, combined with an 18k white gold and pave diamond set lotus flower, reflecting purity of the mind and heart. The diamond lotus flower features a 3.8 carat flawless diamond solitaire at its peak.
Sculpture comes with Limited Edition Artist Certificate of Authenticity and Jewelry Certificate of Materials.
Artists Inspiration:
“Influence was drawn from visiting Shanghai and encountering a city on the move like no other, expanding at lightning pace but reflecting back to the 1930’s when Shanghai was seen as the Paris of the East or better known as the whore of the Orient. There seemed to be a movement underway to ensure the city not forget its exciting past and efforts to recapture some of this vibrant history were at play. From my observation, modern China is experiencing a sexual revolution, where an oppressive past has given way to a new modern world of fashion, fun and luxurious opulence. I wanted to create a unique art piece that would reflect what I was seeing and feeling, it had to have deep Chinese tradition and power balanced out with this new outrageous opulence. From my perspective the new Shanghai is still the vibrant Paris of the East, or as she was better known, “the whore of the Orient”. Electroformed in pure 24k yellow gold, featuring a traditional Chinese dragon totem, symbolizing power, strength and good luck, combined with a solid 18k white gold pave’ set diamond lotus flower with 3.8 carat flawless white diamond solitaire at its peak.
“It had to have deep Chinese tradition and power, balanced out with this new outrageous opulence” - Colin Burn
ABOUT COLIN BURN:
Australian artist Colin Burn is a bold provocateur in the world of conceptual art, using his work to disrupt societal norms and spark critical dialogue often around uncomfortable truths. His art pushes boundaries, urging viewers to rethink their assumptions on value, power, and meaning, especially in contexts often deemed taboo or overlooked. Known for his masterful fusion of symbolism and opulence, Burn transforms ordinary objects into potent allegories, frequently employing their high monetary value to amplify the emotional and intellectual resonance of his themes. He understands that society frequently ties value to price, and this awareness is central to his approach. With an attention-grabbing allure, Burn’s work invites viewers to look beyond the surface, encouraging them to explore the deeper, often concealed meanings behind what they see—reminding them that true value lies not only in the material cost, but in the idea or theme that it represents.
A compelling example of this is his Pearl Royale chess set...
