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, spanning 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 dialogue with the Japanese “Superflat” movement, shaped 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 aesthetics. 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 Comme des Garçons fashion design likewise introduces a dark, subversive undercurrent into Japanese aesthetics.
Nara’s childlike, often stubborn or sad-looking figures recall Margaret Keane’s paintings of children with oversized eyes that were 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, evoking the work of artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat. Basquiat, known for his raw, expressive art, often addressed societal outsiders, which parallels 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!
