### Yayoi Kusama Biography:


****

Yayoi Kusama was born in Matsumoto-shi, Nagano-Ken, Japan in 1929. Kusama is probably Japan's most famous and premiere artist of the modern era. Her art has been described as containing attributes of feminism, minimalism, abstract expressionism and pop art.

****

Kusama's paintings reflect childhood hallucinations, and her art has been an attempt to exorcise those demons.   In the late 1950's, she began a series of Infinity Net Paintings that reflected with dots, nets and flowers her childhood affliction of suffering from repetitive hallucinations. Early in Kusama's career, she began covering surfaces (walls, floors, canvases, and later, household objects and naked assistants) with the polka dots that would become a trademark of her work. The vast fields of polka dots, or "**infinity nets**," as she called them, were taken directly from her hallucinations.

Many years have passed since Pop and Contemporary Fine Art held her first solo exhibition, in Singapore, titled: "The Dots Within" Yayoi Kusama exhibition. Ever since then, it has been hard to keep track of all the countless exhibitions and museum retrospect's that have been held celebrating the genius of Yayoi Kusama. However, one exhibition to take note of, is the upcoming Yayoi Kusama exhibition which will be held, this Summer, at the National Gallery Singapore.****
