奈良美智 Yoshitomo Nara

most works depict one seemingly innocuous subject (often pastel-hued children and animals drawn with confident,cartoonish lines) with little or no background. But these children, who appear at first to be cute and even vulnerable, sometimes brandishweapons like knives and saws. Their wide eyes often hold accusatory looks that could be sleepy-eyed irritation at being awoken from a nap—or that could be undiluted expressions of hate.
