Poindexter
A quintessential example of Yoshitomo Nara's signature style, this ukiyo-e woodcut presents one of his iconic wide-eyed child figures rendered through the traditional Japanese printmaking technique on delicate Japan paper. The work bridges contemporary pop sensibility with the centuries-old Edo-period craft of woodblock printing, the rich layered colours lending the deceptively simple image a quiet emotional intensity. Printed to the full sheet, *Poindexter* captures Nara's enduring fascination with childhood innocence and underlying defiance.
