Yoshimoto Nara (Japanese, b.1959) is a Contemporary artist best known for his Neo-Pop paintings featuring the innocent motifs and buoyant style of children's books and comics. Naras most frequent subjects are wide-eyed, cartoonish children and animals, executed in a flattened, economical style. Often, snippets of Japanese, English, or German text float within the compositions. Nara is also a prolific sculptor and draughtsman. This is an original watercolour drawing being 8 1/3 inch by 5 7/8 inches on thin white card. This is signed to the rear with his full signature and dated 2005. It has come from a private collection and was purchased originally in 2005 at the Comic~com in Tokyo.
