Yoshitomo Nara’s drawings are intimate expressions of his distinctive visual language, often featuring wide-eyed, enigmatic children rendered with delicate lines and minimal detail. Using pencil, pastel, ink and coloured markers, he captures a sense of vulnerability and rebellion. His sketch-like compositions convey raw emotion and spontaneous energy, frequently incorporating handwritten text and doodles. These works, often created on scrap paper or in notebooks, offer insight into Nara’s creative process, serving as the foundation for his larger paintings and sculptures.
