Description from the seller
Yoshitomo Nara - Missing in Action
Official poster
Quality offset printing
Original photos of the poster for sale.
Poster size: 36.4 cm x 51.5 cm
Missing in Action depicts a solitary little girl dressed in a red dress, isolated against a bare background. Her oblique gaze, clenched fists, and determined expression blend innocence, defiance, and rebellion. Yoshitomo Nara plays with the contrast between the character's childlike appearance and a nearly provocative attitude. The work evokes solitude, vulnerability, and a refusal of conformity, while preserving the artist's characteristic emotional ambiguity that continually engages the adult viewer.
Will be carefully packed for shipment.
Yoshitomo Nara is a major figure in contemporary Japanese art, renowned for his childlike characters with ambivalent expressions, blending innocence and rebellion. His visual universe, influenced by pop culture and punk, dialogues with that of artists such as Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, or Takeru Amano. On the international stage, his work resonates with Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, or KAWS. He also shares affinities with Banksy, Invader, or D*Face, while influencing object culture with Bearbrick and Richard Orlinski.
