Yayoi Kusuma: Heart of a Rainbow Art Exhibition

Who is Yayoi Kusuma?

Throughout her career she has worked in a wide variety of media but her heart remains with pop art, minimalist and feminist art movements which reflects works inspired by  Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, and George Segal.



Kusama began to experience vivid hallucinations described as "flashes of light, auras, or dense fields of dots". These hallucinations also involved flowers speaking to her and the patterns in fabric that she stared at coming to life, multiplying, and engulfing or expunging her.



Through this process she has carried into her artistic career and calls "self-obliteration", which is artistically brought to us in Argentinian director NOWNEss's video below.
