Yoshitomo Nara — Green Eyes
Yoshitomo Nara

Green Eyes

A characteristically bold yet deceptively simple image by Yoshitomo Nara, *Green Eyes* features one of the artist's iconic wide-eyed child figures rendered through the delicate interplay of etching, aquatint, and drypoint techniques. The combination of intaglio processes lends the work a rich tonal depth, with the figure's striking green eyes radiating an unsettling mix of innocence and defiance. Printed in colors on wove paper with full margins, the work bridges Nara's roots in post-war Japanese culture and global pop sensibility, translating his signature aesthetic into the intimate and tactile language of printmaking.

Medium
Etching, aquatint and drypoint in colors, on wove paper, with full margins.
