Artwork: Yoshitomo Nara, Unfinished painting, 2016

Yoshitomo Nara recently wrote this about his unfinished painting from 2016:

“I’ve only recently started thinking it’s okay to stop right here. I love that moment just before it’s fully finished—the point where it suddenly feels like the soul has entered the painting. From now on, I want to do more pieces where I put down my brush in that state.”
