A Small Girl, a Loud Drum
Nara's girl stands on lined notebook paper, sticks raised high over a bright orange drum, eyes wide with the noise she is about to make. Drawn in coloured pencil, the image has all the immediacy of a sketch. It captures the punk spirit at the heart of his work in one cheerful gesture.
Best for: Nara admirers wanting a lively, affordable image to frame

Yoshitomo Nara's Banging the Drum of 2020: an offset lithograph poster on a 68.5 x 43 cm sheet, unsigned, new and unused.
The Piece
Nara has always drawn on whatever paper is to hand, and this image keeps the feel of a page torn from a notebook: faint blue rules run across the sheet behind his girl. She stands with both drumsticks raised high above a bright orange snare drum, her bobbed hair a warm russet, her olive green top and big round eyes caught mid-beat.
Drawn in coloured pencil with quick, light lines, it is one of Nara's most cheerful images, and it carries the punk energy that runs through his work: music, noise, a small figure making herself heard.
The tall, narrow format suits a hallway or a reading corner, and the sheet takes a simple pale frame beautifully.
