	Yoshitomo Nara
		Born in 1959 in Hirosaki, Japan, Yoshitomo Nara is one of the most influential artists to emerge from Japan during the Pop art movement of the nineties.
		Nara's tapping into horror through the medium of the innocent child is particularly poignant in Japan's controlled society of rigid language and social structures, especially considering recent shockingly violent crimes in Japan involving children as the aggressors.
		Nara's work really instills the viewer with a juxtaposition of the innocence of children and the evil nature of humanity, or the fall from grace.

	ASIAN POP Nara-Nara Land / Japanese New Pop sensation brings a punk edge and grown-up ennui to his cartoonlike girl ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Nara's mixed-media paintings, shiny plastic sculptures and doodle-like drawings on the backs of envelopes and gallery announcements are catnip for art students who explore similar youthful styles and subjects.
		Conversely, Nara's images are affected by his interests in British- and American-born music genres, enough to have his work described as "Hello Kitty channeling the Sex Pistols." Indeed, Nara's popularity within the punk, new wave and hard-rock sectors of pop culture begins to explain the massive appeal of his art.
		Nara's biography makes much of his childhood as a latchkey kid stranded in the rural Aomori district, known for its apple orchards, where music and drawing were his only salvation.
