#YoshitomoNara

So my final thoughts circled back to #RM and his visit to the exhibition. Nara has pulled music references into his art - including a wall of album covers he likes. When RM views the art, does he then takes things away, back into music? Did he look up the music ( like I did)

The exhibition soundtrack was based on the albums ( I think Nara chose them) and very quietly Bowie was playing as I looked at the covers.

I'm glad I got the chance to go & see this.

The other exhibition I saw at the Korean Cultural Centre was mainly focused on "80 years since liberation" ( and how they embraced modern technology)

Although Nara studied in Germany, he is Japanese, and it seemed to be poignant to be visiting at this time ( Hiroshima/ Nagasaki)

These faces are among the well known pieces from recently. Get up close and there are so many layers of colours, especially around the eyes. Several bodies disappear into water.

The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami left a deep impression on Nara, and changed the way he worked.

I was left wondering ( again) how someone develops such a unique style #art and how do you progress onwards? ( Part 3)

I just wondered if #RM looked at this and thought : 7 stars!!
