Mixed. 2018

Yayoi Kusama is an artist who came from Japan to the USA and became famous for her bright and monotonous "peas".

"Yayoi Kusama (草間 彌生) is a Japanese contemporary artist who works primarily in sculpture and installation, but is also active in painting, performance, film, fashion, poetry, fiction, and other arts. Her work is based in conceptual art and shows some attributes of feminism, minimalism, surrealism, Art Brut, pop art, and abstract expressionism, and is infused with autobiographical, psychological, and sexual content. She has been acknowledged as one of the most important living artists to come out of Japan." (Wikipedia)
