Yoshitomo Nara

Yoshitomo Nara's art features a straightforward style across paintings, sculptures, and drawings, influenced by pop culture elements like manga, Disney, and punk rock. His childlike characters, which can be both endearing and menacing, are set against bold, colorful backgrounds. Nara explores themes of imagination and individuality, with more complex works examining the relationship between figures and their environments. He holds a Master of Fine Arts from Aichi Prefectural University and has exhibited in cities like Tokyo, New York, and Los Angeles. His works are part of prestigious collections, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Modern Art, and have sold for seven figures in the secondary market.
