Yoshitomo Nara Animal Prints

Japanese, b. 1959

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.

By Yoshitomo Nara
Located in NEW YORK, NY
Yoshitomo Nara Santa Monica Museum of Art, 2000: Exhibition Poster published for the Santa Monica Museum of Art's 2000 traveling Yoshitomo Nara retrospective, "Lullaby Supermarket." Offset lithograph; 11.5 x 18 inches. Year: 2000. Very good overall vintage condition. Folded-lines as originally issued. Front side features a Nara sleeping puppy, with the reverse containing exhibition details and associated Museum info. Unsigned from an edition of unknown. More on Yoshitomo Nara: 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.
