Our collaboration

Yoshitomo Nara (b. 1959) is a Japanese artist best known for his powerful portraits with eyes that appear simultaneously sweet and sinister. A contemporary of Takashi Murakami, Nara has been influenced by popular culture in both Eastern and Western society. His versatile practice explores themes of isolation, rebellion, and spirituality through printmaking, painting, sculpture, ceramics, and installations.

Sponsoring social skateboarding projects benefiting at-risk youth, THE SKATEROOM and Yoshitomo Nara bring you 7 editions featuring the artist’s trademark neo-pop visuals during a large solo exhibition at the LACMA (Los Angeles) in 2020/21. This exhibition is currently at the Yuz Museum (Shanghai, China).
