    Yayoi Kusama’s Flowers A (2005) is a colour screenprint with lamé on Vélin d’Arches paper, measuring 89.9 × 80 cm and produced in an edition of 50. The work presents Kusama’s vibrant floral imagery, enriched by shimmering lamé highlights that lend the surface a radiant, almost jewel-like quality. This interplay of bold colour and metallic detail transforms the flowers into symbols that are at once decorative and deeply psychological.
     
    In this print, blossoms expand across the sheet with rhythmic repetition, echoing Kusama’s fascination with cycles of growth, memory, and infinity. The use of lamé elevates the composition beyond the flatness of traditional printmaking, imbuing it with texture and light that change as the viewer shifts perspective. The result is an image that feels both dynamic and meditative, playful yet profound.

  • “Polka dots are a way to infinity.”

     — Yayoi Kusama

    As with much of her printmaking from the mid-2000s, Flowers A demonstrates Kusama’s ability to merge traditional techniques with inventive materials. By fusing her signature motifs with shimmering lamé, she creates a print that embodies her lifelong pursuit of repetition, transformation, and boundless imagination.
