Yayoi Kusama: Japanese pop art style

It is fair to argue that each product has its own stories. For certain groups of people, fashion cannot mean less. Meanwhile, MONAVI provides various types of columns for its audience, such as beauty areas and fashion outfits. Different types of art and culture usually influence fashion trends significantly. For instance, in the early 1940s, women’s clothing style in New York’s became popular across the world. And in the 1960s, London became the center of all world fashion. When it came to the 1980s, Asian fashion, especially fashion and design from Tokyo, was gradually recognized. And today, Japanese pop fashion still has a great amount of fans. Considering all these factors and trends, MONAVI integrates Japanese POP art and POP fashion’s development as well as innovation.

Victoria Miro has displayed an exhibition by Yayoi Kusama. Spanning the gallery’s three locations and waterside garden, the exhibition features new paintings-including her important, ongoing My Eternal Soul series and signature Infinity Nets-iconic pumpkin sculptures, and immersive mirror rooms, all conceived specially for this presentation.

These new works reflect her lifelong preoccupation with the infinite and sublime, as well as the twin themes of cosmic infinity and personal obsession, as found in pattern and repetition. For Wharf Road she has created three mirror rooms: Chandelier of Grief, All the Eternal Love I Have for the pumpkins and Where the Lights in My Hearts Go.

“Variously crowned most popular artist in the world, second most expensive living female artist, and the sole visual artist to make it onto TIME's 100 Most Influential People, Kusama's work boasts global appeal. The international phenomenon has had an unbelievable decade at auction with collectors from around the world hoping to get their hands on one of her pieces. Kusama's total sales by value have risen more than 262 percent, from $931,446 in 2004 to $35,455,059 in 2014, according to artnet Analytics.”( Naomi Rea)

“the paintings are filled with an overflowing abundance of ideas that just keep bubbling up inside my mind. Everyone asks me where my inspiration comes from, but I just pick up the paint brush and follow my hand and the work just flows from me. Afterwards I give them poetic titles which are also filled with meaning for me.”
