YOSHITOMO NARA (1959- ), AFTER, REAL ONE (POSTER) Dimensions: Length: 38.1 cm (15.0 in.), Width: 43.18 cm (17.0 in.). All measurements are approximate. Description: Edition: Open Edition. Yoshitomo Nara, born December 5, 1959, in Hirosaki, Aomori, Japan, is a renowned contemporary Japanese artist. His works, which often include manga and animation elements, have been exhibited in museums across Japan, Europe, and the United States. He is well known for his signature characters big-headed children, white gentle dogs, and children in sheep costumes. Though seemingly cute, the distinct feature lies in the children's sharp, suspicious eyes set against lonely and quiet backgrounds, evoking a blend of mischief and vulnerability.
