Description from the seller
Yoshitomo Nara - Sorry, I couldn’t draw the left eye! (2003)
Official poster
High-quality offset print
Poster size: 72.8 cm x 51.5 cm
This iconic work by Yoshitomo Nara features a little girl with a gaze that is both ingenuous and uneasy, one eye — the left — missing or covered. The title, “Sorry, I couldn’t draw the left eye!”, functions as an ironic confession: it conveys the artist’s admitted imperfection, while revealing an intimate and psychological dimension.
The absent eye becomes a symbol of a wound or a hidden part of the self. Nara thus evokes the difficulty of fully expressing one’s emotions, vulnerability, and even the loss of innocence. The child, a recurring motif in his work, acts as a mirror of the adult: naive in appearance, yet bearing a deep melancholy.
Will be carefully packed when shipped.
