I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight, Yoshitomo Nara’s personal favourite, stands is a defining masterpiece. This museum-quality painting captures the essence of memory, evoking a universal feeling of being transported back to a time and place, much like how music triggers the nostalgic past. The present painting is a culmination of Nara’s career to date, epitomizing the unparalleled emotionality and sincerity that situates Nara as Japan’s most internationally-acclaimed living artist.
