Yoshitomo Nara:
Yoshitomo Nara, born December 5, 1959 in Hirosaki, Japan, is a significant 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 engages in a dialogue with the Japanese "Superflat" movement, championed by Takashi Murakami. While Murakami reflects on consumer culture and the aesthetics of anime and manga with works like "Mr. DOB" (1993), Nara gives his figures a deeper, existential dimension that sets them apart from mere surface appeal. In this sense, Nara is also connected with artists such as Yayoi Kusama, whose works like "Infinity Net" (1961) explore the boundary between innocence and madness, and Rei Kawakubo, whose fashion for Comme des Garçons also injects a dark, subversive undercurrent into Japanese aesthetics.
Nara’s childlike, often defiant or sad-looking figures evoke the works of Margaret Keane, whose paintings of children with oversized eyes became popular in the 1960s. Yet while Keane’s works often pursue a sentimental aesthetic, Nara adds a layer of rebellion and isolation to his images, reminiscent of artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat. Basquiat, famed for his raw, expressive art, often tackled societal outsiders in his works, paralleling Nara’s figures that 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!
