Feminist Art
Forget yourself. Become one with eternity. Become part of your environment.
Kusama's interactive Obliteration Room begins as a white space which visitors are invited to cover with stickers. Over the course of a few weeks, the room is transformed from a blank canvas into an explosion of color, with thousands of spots stuck over every available surface.
It represents the world view of Kusama's Yayoi self. When visitors enter the room to visit it, they are actually visiting the spiritual world of Kusama Yayoi and can have direct dialogue with her. So as to better feel the creative inspiration and soul of Kusama Yayoi. The repetitive dots are more of a therapy for Kusama than a vehicle for her communication with the modern world. These dots are cells, RACES, molecules, the most basic elements of life, and Kusama sees them as signals from the universe and nature.
Yayoi kusama, born in Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, graduated from Matsumoto girls' school in Nagano prefecture, Japan. Born in 1929 in Matsumoto, Japan, Kusama was a typical wealthy girl of modest means. As a young girl, she was often accompanied by loneliness. In 1956, she moved to New York City and began to show her pioneering avant-garde art. In 1959, Kusama brought his work to an exhibition at the gallery on 10th street. In this group exhibition of young artists, Kusama's paintings with high-contrast dots and reticular patterns began to attract the attention of well-known critics in New York. Seven years later, Kusama produced her most famous work, infinite love, which was still based on dots, but this time with a dot bulb and the reflection of a large mirror. The psychedelic effect challenged people's visual experience. In addition to creation, Kusama's encounter with Joseph Cornell, a famous American artist, sculptor, and pioneer of experimental films in modern times, has made American life less boring for Kusama. The two lived in harmony until the death of Joseph Cornell in 1972. In 1973, Kusama's artistic peak, she defected from the media, quietly returned to Tokyo and voluntarily entered a mental health home.
Kusama Yayoi is a famous Avant-garde artist, it can be seen from her works that she is deeply rooted in people's minds. She uses polka dots and mirrors with high color contrast to cover the surfaces of objects and people. All her visual experience comes from her own illusion and she thinks that these dots become a big dream catcher.
I think Kusama is an obsessive-compulsive, in each of her works, there are certain rules between all the points, such as the size of the points and the distance between each point. In my opinion, these repeated wave points of hers have strong signature elements of style, which all the time emphasize infinitely eternity and continuity.
