Yoshitomo Nara

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009 masatanaka

Happy day after St. Patrick’s day! I hope everybody get to drink at least one good beer and eat one (yummster) green cupcake. Yesterday, I spent part of my sunny St. Patrick’s day by going to Yoshitomo Nara’s solo exhibition at Marianne Boesky Gallery. He is one of my favorite artists from Japan and it was very nice to see his work so close for the first time. It is his fourth show at the gallery and every single piece there, including two immense sculptures, was well installed and looked amazing. When I was there, I really wished I was living in his world. It was lovely.

Exhibition runs until March 28, 2009. Step into the gallery if you have time for some sweet art.
