Time Goes On; and Universal Soldier
These two prints by Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara showcase his signature style of deceptively simple yet emotionally charged imagery, featuring his iconic wide-eyed child figures rendered with quiet defiance and melancholic undertones. *Time Goes On* employs the rich tonal depth of photogravure and aquatint to evoke a sense of solitude and the slow passage of time, while *Universal Soldier* uses the precise, incised lines of etching to convey themes of innocence entangled with conflict. Both works on wove paper with full margins reflect Nara's ability to distill complex human emotions into strikingly spare compositions.
