Yoshitomo Nara: Pop Art | Daily Art Fixx - http://www.dailyartfixx.com/2010...
"Nara typically paints children with over-sized heads, big round eyes that seem harmless but not innocent. The children are usually alone with little or no background.  His “cute”  characters, often have accusatory or simply annoyed expressions, and they sometimes carry weapons. Nara, however, does not see his weapon-wielding subjects as aggressors. “Look at them, they [the weapons] are so small, like toys. Do you think they could fight with those?” he says. “I don’t think so. Rather, I kind of see the children among other, bigger, bad people all around them, who are holding bigger knives…”" - Kimber Scott
