(^ ^) Artist: Yoshitomo Nara Yoshitomo Nara, a Japanese artist born on December 5, 1959, is known for his eclectic work, known for his cartoonish paintings of melancholic children and animals. After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master of Fine Arts from Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts and Music, he studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in the late 1980s, and throughout his life has been inspired by both Eastern and Western cultures. Nara's childhood was a post-war period in Japan when more and more people were exposed to Western pop culture such as manga, Disney animation, and pop music, which is often said to have had an early influence on Nara's work. Although he has always stated that he did not draw from Japanese manga, his distinctive large-eyed portraits have often prompted art critics to draw similarities between the two. Instead, he argues that he elevates his work to another spiritual level by combining innocent children with cynical expressions and incompatible things (such as sharp knives), reflecting important issues of religion and philosophy. Yoshitomo Nara has many enthusiastic supporters, has held many solo exhibitions around the world, and held a major retrospective from 2003 to 2005, touring many locations. Nara's works are held in many major museums, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the National Museum of Art, Osaka.
