Note du spécialiste

“Whether I like it or not, the things I make are no longer self-portraits, but belong to the audience who find themselves, their friends or children they know in my paintings. My hope is that they will remain in the history of art... that they will survive as long as humankind exists even if my physical body is destroyed.”
– Yoshitomo Nara
