    Yayoi Kusama’s Flowers (1985) is a screenprint measuring 46 × 53 cm, produced in an edition of 100. The work presents one of Kusama’s most celebrated motifs, the flower, reimagined with bold graphic outlines and vibrant colours. By stylising a familiar natural subject, she transforms the blossom into a symbol that carries both personal meaning and universal resonance.
     
    In this print, the flower is stripped of its delicate naturalism and instead amplified through repetition and vivid contrasts. The composition radiates with energy, reflecting Kusama’s fascination with organic growth and cycles of renewal, while also evoking the psychological depth and intensity present across much of her work.

  • “When I create art, it is an attempt to survive.” 

    — Yayoi Kusama

    As with many of her editioned works from the 1980s, Flowers demonstrates Kusama’s ability to distil her central motifs into accessible formats without losing their conceptual power. The image merges playfulness with meditative rhythm, reaffirming her enduring interest in transforming everyday forms into icons of infinity.
