About the artwork
"I don't mind if you forget me" is a series of 5 iconic posters by Yoshitomo Nara, capturing the essence of his delicate, introspective style. The work is in the Japanese neo-pop vein of the 1990s, blending the apparent innocence of childhood with a melancholy and subversive emotional charge. The artist depicts a naive-looking girl with an ambivalent gaze, between gentleness and defiance. Inspired by kawaii culture, punk rock and manga imagery, Nara creates a solitary figure that becomes a mirror of contemporary fragility. The economy of the drawing, the frontal nature of the portrait and the neutral background reinforce the character's silent power.
Expert opinion

About the artist
Yoshitomo Nara is a Japanese painter born in 1959. In his artistic practice, he draws inspiration from three elements that lulled his childhood: solitude, manga and Western music. Introduced to pop art in the 1990s, he joined the Superflat movement with Mukarami and Chiho Aoshima. His works often feature childlike, kawaii figures, marked by dark humor and a certain cynicism. He sometimes places weapons in the hands of the children he depicts, enabling them to defend themselves against dangerous forces. Today, he is the Japanese artist whose work sells at the highest prices, and has been exhibited at MoMA in New York, Galerie Kaikai Kiki in Tokyo and Galerie Blum and Poe in Los Angeles.
