Yoshitomo Nara’s retrospective at Museo Guggenheim Bilbao, on view until November 3rd

Yoshitomo Nara’s first solo exhibition in Europe, curated by Lucía Agirre, invites viewers into his vibrant world blending nostalgia and social commentary. Over four decades, Nara’s art—marked by defiant children and poignant motifs like red-roofed houses and sprouting grass—evokes deep emotional resonance. His fusion of Eastern and Western influences, coupled with a passion for music, reflects a personal journey of reflection and creativity, urging us to confront our shared experiences and contemporary challenges.
