    Original Works

    Created from 1945 - Now
    Yayoi Kusama is known for her iconic style that blends surrealism, abstraction, and pop art. Her signature design features repeating patterns, especially polka dots, and the exploration of themes of infinity, self-obliteration, and psychological depth. Her original and unique pieces present complex patterns that have been painstakingly and meticulously carried out, some ranging from as small as 20cm in length to over 3m long.
     
    Drawing from her own hallucinations and lifelong fascination with endless space, Kusama creates a nexus of visuals that blends objects into their surroundings, or pieces that are an abstraction of infinite space themselves. 
     
  • "I am an obsessional artist. People call me crazy, but I am not crazy. My vision is clear in my madness"

     

    - Yayoi Kusama

    One of her most well-known painting series are her "Infinity Nets," which feature meticulously painted looping patterns that create a hypnotic, wave-like effect. Each canvas is unique, with variations in density, color, and form that give them an organic quality. The repetitive motion of the brushstrokes reflects her therapeutic approach to art, turning her anxieties into vast, mesmerising fields of interconnected forms. Biomorphic approaches occur throughout Kusama's career, for example in her 2009 'My Eternal Soul' series which features a mix of shapes, colours and surreal features alluding to the obscurity of the natural world.
