Yayoi Kusama–Self obliteration

by ruisak

 

“…a polka-dot has the form of the sun, which is a symbol of the energy of the whole world and our living life, and also the form of the moon, which is calm. Round, soft, colorful, senseless and unknowing. Polka-dots become movement… Polka dots are a way to infinity.”

Kusama’s work is based in conceptual art and shows some attributes of feminism,minimalism, surrealism, Art brut, pop art, and abstract expressionism, and is infused with autobiographical, psychological, and sexual content.
