    JAPANESE WATERCOLOR PAINTING AFTER YOSHITOMO NARA

    Est: $100 - $150

    A watercolor painting on paper depicting a portrait of a girl after the original acrylic on collaged paper and cardboard painting, Girl with Drum Sticks, 2019, after Yoshitomo Nara, Japanese, born 1959. Inscribed lower right. Yoshitomo Nara is a Japanese artist, known for Mod child figurative, animal. Yoshitomo 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 between Japan and Germany, where he studied art. He sees himself as a voluntary exile. Because art schools and museums were conservative in Japan, Nara, also a sculptor working in a similarly simplistic style, studied contemporary art on his own there as a young man, eventually seeking exhibitions abroad. One of a kind artwork.
