« (Les peintures de Nara) évoquent la spontanéité des sentiments d'enfants que son public adulte avait oubliés depuis longtemps, mais qui étaient néanmoins préservés dans les recoins de leur esprit. Ces sentiments leur donnaient à leur tour la force d'accepter leur propre solitude et de comprendre la vie comme un mélange inextricable de perte et d'espoir. » - S. Trescher et al., Yoshitomo Nara: Lullaby Supermarket, Munich 2001
“[Nara's paintings] evoke the immediacy of children's feelings that his grownup audience had long forgotten but that were nevertheless preserved in the recesses of their minds. These feelings in turn gave them the strength to accept their own solitude and to understand life as an inextricable mixture of loss and hope.” - S. Trescher et al., Yoshitomo Nara: Lullaby Supermarket, Munich 2001
