Name: Backwards And Forwards
Brand: Yoshitomo Nara
Rating: 5 (231 reviews)

Yoshitomo Nara is arguably one of Japan’s best-known contemporary artists. His iconic paintings and drawings are instantly recognisable as he merges innocence with rebellion and takes influence from cartoons, music and his personal life. The wide-eyed characters that dominate Nara's works challenge societal norms with a playful yet poignant touch. Often wielding sharp objects, the angsty, childlike figures present the vulnerable and the sinister - a paradox which critics have attributed the popularity of Nara's work to. Nara has established a global cult-like following that transcends age, culture, and location, demonstrating his impact on the Contemporary art scene.
