Yoshitomo Nara's masterpiece "Can't Wait for Night to Come" shows his extraordinary vision at the peak of his artistic career. This work has delicate brushstrokes, making it the most complex and emotionally subtle work in its history, taking nearly a year to complete.
 

This bust features a simple off white background with multiple layers of colored base oil, revealing a subtle and sinister look on the girl's face. The forehead bangs are pointed like protruding fangs, but the most touching thing must be the iconic look with a hint of provocation and temptation. The colorful eyes sparkle, reflecting the artist's inner world at night when their creativity is at its peak.
 

Yoshitomo Nara often takes naughty characters as subjects, and expresses his emotions and feelings on this occasion. 'Can't Wait for Night to Fall' originates from his nostalgia for childhood and transfers the values of childhood to the present-day world.
