Yoshitomo Nara

Don't Cry; Backwards and Forwards; Broken Treasures; and Damn It All

These four screenprints by Japanese contemporary artist Yoshitomo Nara feature his iconic wide-eyed, solitary child figures rendered in his signature style that blends innocence with an undercurrent of defiance and melancholy. Each work in the series captures Nara's trademark ability to evoke complex emotional states through deceptively simple imagery, balancing childlike vulnerability with an almost rebellious inner world. Co-published by Pace Editions Inc. and Tomio Koyama Gallery, this limited edition set of 50 represents a significant collaboration between two prominent international galleries championing Nara's globally celebrated vision.

Medium
Each signed, dated and numbered 36/50 in pencil (there were also 12 artist's proofs), co-published by Pace Editions Inc., New York and Tomio Koyama Gallery, Tokyo, all framed.
