Yoshitomo Nara

Nara Yoshitomo (Japanese: Nara Yoshitomo/If Yoshitomo, Romanized: Nara Yoshitomo; December 5, 1959 -) is a Japanese artist and sculptor from Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture, Japan. Currently lives in Nasushiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture. Since 1984, Nara has held nearly 40 solo exhibitions, and his works have also been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. His most well-known creative theme is "big-headed girl", and reviewers pointed out that its "childish expression can arouse adult emotions, the cute appearance contains black humor, and clear cultural codes are intertwined with personal memories."
