ARTIST
Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese contemporary artist. She's considered one of the most important artists of Pop Art . She was born in 1929 in Matsumoto (Japan) and moved to New York in 1958.
There is no doubt that she is the Queen of the pois, the famous dots with which she filled the rooms and the streets of New York between 1958 and 1973, at a time of transition from abstract expressionism to avant-garde experimentalism.
What distinguishes her extraordinary work as an artist is the courage with which she gives substance to her inner landscape: Yayoi Kusama's works express her psychological and emotional dilemmas.
After years of intense productivity and exhibitions in the most important museums of the world, in 1975 Kusama decided to return to Japan to recover in the psychiatric hospital of Shinjuku, because of some allucinazioni and sight's issues. From 1977 she was admitted to the Seiwa Hospital in Tokyo, but this situation didn't prevent her from renting an atelier in front of the hospital, where she goes everyday to paint. In fact, during these years she continued writing and working, collaborating also with fashion brands such as Louis Vuitton and Lancôme.
Pumpkins are one of her iconic elements, used in her paintings, sculptures and Infinity Rooms.
"I love pumpkins for their funny shape, their warmth and for their human quality". The pumpkins represent the triumph over the inner struggles, they're painted in bright colors and the pois are carefully placed.
