Yoshitomo Nara:
Yoshitomo Nara, born on December 5, 1959 in Hirosaki, Japan, is a prominent contemporary artist, known for his iconic depictions of childlike, yet often melancholic or rebellious figures. Nara’s works, which include painting, sculpture, and drawing, subtly fuse pop culture, childhood memories, and deeper emotional themes, making him a central figure of Japanese Neo-Pop art.

Nara's work stands in dialogue with the Japanese "Superflat" movement, which was shaped by Takashi Murakami. While Murakami, with works like "Mr. DOB" (1993), reflects on consumer culture and the aesthetics of anime and manga, Nara gives his figures a deeper, existential dimension that sets them apart from pure superficiality. In this sense, Nara is also connected with artists such as Yayoi Kusama, whose works like "Infinity Net" (1961) probe the boundary between innocence and madness, and Rei Kawakubo, whose fashion design for Comme des Garçons also brings a dark, subversive undercurrent into Japanese aesthetics.

Nara's childish, often sullen or sad-looking figures recall the work of Margaret Keane, whose paintings of children with oversized eyes became popular in the 1960s. But while Keane's works often cater to a sentimental aesthetic, Nara adds a layer of rebellion and isolation to his paintings, evoking the work of artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat. Basquiat, known for his raw, expressive art, frequently addressed social outsiders in his works, which draws a parallel to Nara's figures, which likewise convey feelings of alienation and protest.

Seller's Story

We have been operating several online shops in the art trade for over 20 years. On the one hand, we specialize in rare art prints, exhibition posters and collectible reproductions, and on the other hand, we trade in art editions and originals by well-known contemporary artists. The works we offer all come from the respective publishers, art galleries and institutions such as museums that published them in close cooperation with the artists. The works you find with us are often several decades old, in perfect or good condition and without a previous private owner. We place particular emphasis on professional packaging. Nothing is more annoying than purchasing a rare print that arrives damaged due to poor or inadequate packaging. If you have any questions about the works on offer, we are always happy to help you!
