JAPANESE OIL PAINTING ATTR TO NARA YOSHITOMO - Attributed to Yoshitomo Nara, Japanese, born 1959, oil painting on canvas depicting a portrait of a child in a hat with cat ears. Framed. Inscribed and dated 2005 on the backside. Yoshitomo Nara is a Japanese artist 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.
