(2003) is a quintessential example of the artist’s unique ability to blend innocence and defiance within his childlike yet psychologically charged figures. Executed as a color lithograph, the work radiates Nara’s distinct emotional tone — a mixture of vulnerability and rebellion. Hand-signed and dated by the artist, Beh! was produced in a limited edition of 72, plus 11 artist’s proofs. Provenanced from Gallery Tagboat, Tokyo, and illustrated on page 98 of the catalog, this piece stands as a rare and iconic print from Nara’s early 2000s production, reflecting his enduring influence on contemporary Japanese art. That same rebellious spirit reappears, in earlier and more poignant form, in DORAMICHAN's Ribbon Was Taken by GIAN (2002), a rare vertical poster from Nara's formative international years. A far earlier, one-of-a-kind counterpart appears in Untitled (1994), a unique signed watercolor from the artist's earliest independent period — both available now at Lynart Gallery.
