Nara  born in 1959  is regarded as one of Japans foremost contemporary artists  and has attained a cult status in his homeland that is hardly conceivable for European artists to reach. His signature paintings and drawings of children  often sporting grim gazes  that which recall the tradition of popular Japanese mangas  are among the most sought out items on the international art scene. His former student  Sugito  born in 1970  has also enjoyed great popularity in Japan. Sugitos delicate  finely-painted works are more subtle than Naras and combine influences of Eastern and Western painting. The two artists completed the first of their joint works in 1997  and developed the idea for a joint exhibition and book project  Over the Rainbow  that same year. Eventually  in the summer of 2004  their goal was realized when Nara and Sugito were invited by the Austrian Galerie Belvedere to live and work in Vienna for three months. Over the Rainbow documents their visit: included are images of the artists at work  and the paintings and drawings that resulted from their collaboration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651919339573,"sku":"ByrdShop_3775715029","price":241.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783775715027.jpg?v=1781845185","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/yoshitomo-nara-hiroshi-sugito-over-the-rainbow-9783775715027","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
