Description
A stylised portrait by Yayoi Kusama, 'Kusama In A Foreign Country' features the artist's signature polka-dot motif in a visually striking composition. The artwork explores themes of identity and perception through its bold patterns and contrasting colours.
Yayoi Kusama, born in 1929, is a Japanese artist celebrated for her extensive body of work, which includes paintings, sculptures, performance art, and installations. Her art is characterised by recurring motifs of polka dots and nets, which she uses to explore themes of infinity, self-obliteration, and psychological trauma. Kusama has lived voluntarily in a psychiatric institution since 1977, and her mental health struggles have profoundly influenced her artistic practice. 'Kusama In A Foreign Country' presents a stylised portrait rendered in Kusama's signature polka-dot aesthetic. The face, outlined in bold black, is covered in red dots, contrasting with the bright blue eyes and red lips. The background is filled with varying densities of black dots on a white field, creating a visually arresting pattern that flattens the space. The neck area features additional red patterning, adding another layer to the composition. The overall effect is both captivating and unsettling, reflecting Kusama's unique artistic vision and her exploration of the psychological dimensions of art.

Artist Biography
Yayoi Kusama
Her work is deeply rooted in personal experience. Kusama has spoken about hallucinations and obsessive visions since childhood, which she channels into art filled with repetition and infinity. Pumpkins, polka dots and mirrored spheres are recurring motifs that create worlds both joyful and unsettling. She is celebrated for monumental public sculptures, vibrant installations and her ability to connect minimalism, pop art and surrealism while maintaining a completely original voice.
Kusama’s art has been exhibited in leading institutions including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Tate Modern in London and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Touring exhibitions such as Infinity Mirrors and Infinity Rooms have drawn record-breaking crowds and confirmed her as a cultural icon. Her collaborations with global fashion houses have expanded her reach, making her patterns and polka dots instantly recognisable.
Today Kusama continues to work from her Tokyo studio while living voluntarily in a nearby psychiatric hospital. She maintains a daily practice and continues to produce new paintings and installations. Her dedication has made her both a cult figure and a mainstream success. Kusama’s vision of endless repetition and cosmic connection invites viewers to explore infinity, beauty and their place in the universe.
