"Now aged 95, Yayoi Kusama for many decades has been considered one of the most
influential contemporary artists. She works across a wide range of art forms,
including sculpture and installations, painting, graphic arts, fashion, video
art, performance and writing.
Kusama’s immersive infinity rooms have mesmerised audiences around the world.
The National Gallery of Victoria’s blockbuster exhibition sets out to rewrite
the history books in its unveiling of her most recent infinity mirror work,
My
Heart is Filled to the Brim with Sparkling Light, together with nearly 200
other pieces by the artist, many never previously shown in Australia.
The earliest works in the show date from the 1930s and the most recent were
made in 2024.
Kusama’s art has the rare ability to transform a personal nightmare into a
vision of paradise – one that has no boundaries and defies definition through a
rational intellect.
She translates her pumpkins, polka dots, river stones and flowers into a
boundless universe of sensory experiences. There is no boundary between the
animate and inanimate. Everything has a voice and spirit."
