A striking self-portrait by Yayoi Kusama, featuring her iconic polka dots and bold colours. This print brings a touch of avant-garde flair to any modern space.
This vibrant self-portrait embodies Yayoi Kusama's signature style, instantly recognisable for its bold use of colour and obsessive application of polka dots. Kusama, a pivotal figure in the Pop Art movement, has explored themes of infinity, self-obliteration, and psychological trauma throughout her career, often using dots as a means to represent the cosmos and the self's place within it. The portrait features a face and body rendered in red, covered with white polka dots, set against a blue background with yellow and orange circles. Her intense green eyes stare directly at the viewer, creating a captivating and slightly unsettling effect. As a fine art print, this work brings a dynamic and contemporary edge to any interior. Its striking colours and repetitive patterns make it a focal point, ideal for adding a touch of avant-garde flair to a living room, study, or hallway. The artwork's bold aesthetic complements modern decor, while its art-historical significance adds depth and intellectual interest to your space. Kusama's unique vision transforms a simple portrait into a powerful statement about identity, perception, and the infinite.

Yayoi Kusama
Yayoi Kusama, a name synonymous with polka dots and pumpkins, is far more than a purveyor of popular motifs; she's a visionary whose art is inextricably linked to her mental health. Born in Matsumoto, Japan, in 1929, Kusama's childhood was marked by hallucinations and trauma, experiences that profoundly shaped her artistic vision. Escaping a stifling home life, she sought refuge in art, initially painting repetitious patterns inspired by her hallucinatory experiences. These early works laid the foundation for her signature style, a form of art therapy manifested on canvas. Kusama's journey took her to New York in the late 1950s, where she became a prominent figure in the avant-garde scene, embracing Pop Art and Minimalism. Her 'Infinity Net' paintings, vast canvases covered in repetitive, undulating marks, gained critical acclaim. She staged happenings, body art performances, and anti-war protests, solidifying her reputation as a radical and innovative artist. Despite her success, Kusama's mental health struggles persisted, leading to her voluntary admission to a psychiatric institution in Tokyo in 1977, where she has lived ever since. From her Tokyo studio, Yayoi Kusama continues to create her immersive installations, sculptures, and paintings, including her famous pumpkin sculptures. Her work explores themes of infinity, self-obliteration, and the interconnectedness of all things. Kusama's art offers viewers a glimpse into her unique perspective, transforming personal struggles into universal experiences. Her enduring appeal lies not only in the visual spectacle of her art but also in its profound emotional depth and unwavering honesty.
