Take a closer look at the most spectacular works by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.
A unique artist
Yayoi Kusama is one of the most eccentric and brilliant contemporary artists of her generation. The orange-haired artist dedicates her works to the beauty of color, geometry and dream-like fantasy. From giant spotted pumpkins to colorful paintings, landscapes and a unique take on pointillism, the work of Yayoi Kusama exudes total technical perfection, creating stunning results. Often presenting her art in rooms that play with light, space and time, Yayoi Kusama’s works are currently on show at the Yayoi Kusama Museum in Tokyo, which has already attracted many visitors from around the world.
The most spectacular artworks by Yayoi Kusama
You don't need to cross the seven seas to admire the artworks of Yayoi Kusama, as many capital cities exhibit her work, for example the Victoria Miro Gallery in London and the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris, where one of her signature Infinity Mirror Rooms attracted all eyes up until July. Created in 1965 during her time in New York, Phalli's Field is Yayoi Kusama's first Infinity Mirror Room installation that embodies the artist's pea-obsessed hallucinations that she had as a child. “My life is a pea lost among thousands of other peas," she likes to say, and the selection of works at the foundation encapsulates this idea. The exhibition is themed “A Vision For Painting”, in which a small room in entirely covered in mirrors, with psychedelic mushrooms sprouting from the ground and clusters of giant red peas peppered throughout. It is a dizzying immersion into a completely otherworldly hallucination, the mirrors reflecting into infinite, creating an overwhelming sense of endlessness.
