Nabbie Hara

Nabbie Hara is a Japanese artist studying at the Tokyo University of Arts. Hara is influenecd by the often exaggerated facial expressions and actions which we see in Manga. In her works, Hara frequently portrays individuals engaged in actions such as kissing and punching, citing  “violence and eroticism” as key themes that influence her works. Hara’s works capture the moment of impact between actions, employing contrasting block colours to spotlight the dynamic scenes depicted. Another manga-like aspect is the flatness evoked on the canvas, achieved through a lack of prospective.
