Are you talking to me?
September 27, 2007
Just for fun, here is a sheet from Japanese contemporary pop artist Yoshitomo Nara’s Time of My Life (1992-2000), on display at MoMA. Something about it speaks to me. I can’t quite put my finger on it.
Actually, yes I can.
This particular piece is pretty innocuous, but Nara’s cartoonish, anime-inspired style belies the dark tone of many of his pieces. Very angry-looking children, sometimes armed, seem to be a recurring theme. I first saw his work several years ago, kicking around as a set of postcards in Newbury Comics, and was immediately intrigued. Cute or scary?
