奈良美智(Yoshitomo Nara),很不一样的当代艺术家,涉及领域--paintings,drawings,sculptures:up:



In his drawings, kiddies are engaging in
innocuous solo activities: holding a flag, playing in a box, sitting on a potty, holding a book, standing in a puddle. But sometimes they are brandishing sharp little implements--knives and saws.
<Lullaby Supermarket>(摇篮曲超市)是对他作品比较完备的收集,里面都是属于他的妞妞娃娃--Toddlers with balloon heads, persimmon pit-eyes, and pinprick noses; alternately sad, mischievous, or even malevolent.
<Slash With a Knife>这本书看者名字就比较特别吧

封面就很high--A pig-tailed girl stands impassively within the picture surface. The lack of reference suggests a groundless solitude that might make for a certain vulnerability, if not for what the girl is holding: a jagged-edged saw.
生于1959年,成长于日本经济高速度发展的重建时期,在德国Dsseldorf留学,他的艺术风格很有国际性和自创感--Nara doesn’t feel these weapons are instruments of aggression.

"Look at them, they are so small, like toys. Do you think they could fight with those?" he counters. "I don’t think so. Rather,
I kind of see the children among other, bigger, bad people all around them, who are holding bigger knives...."
I don't mind, if you forget. Because you never forget me, I never fortget you.--他在
01年展览的Slogan. Called
I Don't Mind If You Forget Me--an infantile title that legitimately reflects the character of the work.展品是被我们丢弃的童年玩具(
paraphernalia and memorabilia of childhood ),很有想像力

也和搞Superflat的村上隆有合作,也和奢侈品牌有商业合作,不过就我的喜好,他的公仔好过那铺天盖地的樱桃还真不是一点点:domo: 不过么......贵是贵的来
