Yoshitomo Nara 123 Drumming Girls Collectible Objects

This 123 Drumming Girl Collectible Object exemplifies the aesthetic of its creator, Yoshitomo Nara: naive and cute but with an edgy undercurrent driven by the artist?s avid interest in punk rock. An artist in MoMA?s collection, Nara has designed album covers for bands such as the Japanese all-girl Shonen Knife, who were an influence on this PVC design.

Since the mid-1990s, Yoshitomo Nara has exhibited around the world, working with a range of institutions he feels a strong affinity with. His approach to art-making is similarly dependent on his sense of connection to the process of creating; his paintings are expressions of colors that breathe life into his bold images; his sculptures bear traces of his fingers that have shaped their forms; and his drawings, a daily practice, capture the spontaneity of thoughts. Nara has also exhibited his photographic works to depict his daily life and travels.
