| Cosmic Eyes, 2007, acrylic on canvas |
Yoshitomo Nara is a Japanese Pop artist. He paints illustration-like innocent children with a sadistic twist. Big-eyed, scowling, and malevolent kids. He also incorporates text into his paintings for a narrative clue.
He draws influence from loneliness and freedom.
Formally he uses flat areas of bold color , thick outlines, and stylized forms.
He says the children in his paintings are thinking about what you're thinking about ;)
