Yoshitomo Nara Sculptures
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.

Yoshitomo Nara Skateboard Decks MoMa (complete set of 2 works)
By Yoshitomo Nara
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.

Paige Smith AKA A Common Name, is a multi-disciplinary artist and designer who lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. Smith is most notable for creating “Urban Geode,” a street art series of sculptures that resemble geodes, made entirely of paper and resin casts.
Always interested in geology, Smith started to notice the nooks and crannies in the sides of buildings, walls, and abandoned phone booths within her community of the Historical Arts District (in Los Angeles). Seeing this as an opportunity to create, Smith took street-art to a whole new level.
Since beginning the project, she has created large-scale installations for well-known brands such as The Standard, Hollywood; The Viper Room...

Doggy Radio, fully functional radio system, signed by artist
By Yoshitomo Nara
Located in Toronto, Ontario
Yoshitomo Nara (b.1959) is a renowned Japanese artist best known for his paintings of children and animals that appear simultaneously sweet and sinister.
Nara's pastel-hued subjects often recall manga characters with their wide eyes and large, round heads. However innocuous or innocent Nara's children and animals may seem, they are sometimes brandishing weapons, in defiant stances, and usually have an accusatory look of intense irritation or hatred in their eyes.
This signature juxtaposition of cartoon-y innocence with symbols of human evil has earned Nara international acclaim and following.
Equally as prolific throughout his oeuvre is Nara's white dog motif, which has been reimagined across mediums. Often depicted in solitude, the dog connotes introspective themes of melancholy and loneliness that date back to Nara's childhood. Its playful yet placid disposition embodies another amusing contradiction found within the artist's work.
