Yoshimoto (some spell it Yashitomo) Nara was born in 1959 in Hirosaki,
Japan and has exhibited extensively in the United States as well as
Japan and European countries.
Using a style combining the
effect of Japanese prints and Pop Art cartoons, he paints solitary,
doll-like children to comment upon the decline of society, East and
West. To Nara, children symbolize a world marked by
confusion and anxiety about an unknown future. Since 1988, he has
divided his time (showing 500 of 3045 characters). |
