    Welcome to the world of Yoshitomo Nara

    March 02, 2023

    AGWA Design Store celebrates the first Australian solo exhibition of acclaimed Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara

    Yoshitomo Nara is a pioneering figure in contemporary art whose signature style – which expresses children in a range of emotional complexities from resistance and rebellion to quietude and contemplation – celebrates the introspective freedom of the imagination and the individual. 

    Nara was in Perth at the weekend for the launch – Reach Out to The Moon, Even if We Can’t – his first Australian solo exhibition. AGWA is proud to be hosting this exhibition which brings together major sculptural works alongside paintings, drawings, ceramics, and photography by Nara.

    To celebrate, AGWA Design Store has an exclusive range of exhibition keepsakes. We invite you to explore and imagine Nara’s world.

    Nara t-shirts | $69

    Ethically sourced and 100% combed cotton, these t-shirts are a great memento of your Reach Out to The Moon, Even If We Can't experience.

    Nara tote bags | $45

    High quality tote bags with exclusive Nara imagery to celebrate the artist’s first Australian solo exhibition.

    Yoshitomo Nara Pinacoteca

    With extensive photography and special foldouts, this book recreates the experience of Yoshitomo Nara’s Pinacoteca 2021, a multi-room installation exhibited at Pace in London.

    Yoshitomo Nara Written by historian Yeewan Koon
    This book has been created in close collaboration with the artist himself. This publication delves into the exploration of over three decades of Nara’s work, including imagery of his most recent works in painting, drawing, sculpture, and ceramics.

    Shallow Puddles
    Filled with full-colour, detailed images of the artist’s Shallow Puddles series works, this book features an English Japanese bilingual essay by Shigemi Takahashi, curator at Aomori Museum of Art who has worked closely with the artist on numerous projects.

    Take home a small keepsake from this big exhibition with these notebooks and cards. Coming soon, quirky button badges and hard cover notebooks and more.

    “There’s a strong argument Nara is probably the most important contemporary artist in the world today. With Nara, everyone will get something from it,” AGWA Director, Colin Walker
