Yoshitomo Nara
Nara was born in Hirosaki, Japan, in 1959. After graduating from Aichi University of Fine Arts and Music in 1987, he went to Germany and studied under A.R. Penk at the National Dusseldorf Art Academy.
Well-known for his cartoon-like drawings, paintings and sculptures, Nara’s themes are both expressions of innocence and the wildness of nature, depicted in cute images combined with adult expressions.
