奈良美智
無題
壓克力 油彩 紙本
1988年作
簽名: Yoshitomo Nara

奈良美智創作生涯中的所有作品,無論是雕塑、草稿,抑或是油畫,都引人無比喜愛,有所共鳴。他的創作誘人之處在於他那隱含於畫作之中的童年故事。

縱然在日本及德國科隆曾受正式的繪畫訓練,這個常被世界各大文藝機構邀請作展覽及演說的藝術家,他的作品卻有著隨意、謙和可親的特質。奈良美智的作品洋溢出一種既活潑,又帶有對小孩純真不做作的風格。

這些特質完全呈現在他早期作品《無題》 (Lot 1124)之上。《無題》雖然是以標準的西方油畫技巧創作,不像後期作品運用日本漫畫風格描繪天真的孩童,但已略顯他今日風格的雛型。奈良美智後期作品慣以輕鬆色調與平面畫技突顯主題人物下意識中的複雜心理;而《無題》則是以層疊色彩反映畫中人的感受與情緒。畫中女孩在自信中夾帶著一絲悲傷的冷漠與孤寂,迫人的意念淹沒了她小小的身軀。雖然她散發著自信與些許的距離感,但仍令人感到纖細與脆弱。

Throughout his artistic career, Nara's works have attracted a diverse audience who are drawn to his stories of childhood experiences, manifested in his oeuvre that includes sculptures, mere sketches on scraps of paper and paintings on canvas.

Despite Nara's formal painting training in Japan, an extended education in Koln, Germany and an impressive list of globally held exhibitions and lectures, Nara's undemanding compositions are humble and approachable; rambunctious yet sweet, and elicit compassion for the single child.

These qualities are represented in his early work Untitled (Lot 1124) from 1988. Unlike his later works that bear aspects of child-like naivete and Japanese cartoon, this early work adheres to Western painting techniques, while bearing characteristics of the artist's present signature style. While in his later works the light color palette and flat painting technique often stand in contrast to the subliminal message and psychological complexity of the subject matter, the dark and layered color composition in Untitled is reflective of the child's feelings and emotions. Full of conviction, yet with a sense of sad apathy and solitude, the girl in the painting is simply a child with a larger than life spirit that overwhelms her small frame. Though she stands proud and seems somewhat distant, she is fragile and vulnerable.
