It’s hard to fathom the expansive creative vision of Yayoi Kusama- one of the world’s most influential artists and rightly so.
Life is the Heart of a Rainbow- the first major exhibition of her work held in Southeast Asia, beautifully traced Kusama’s development into an artist extraordinaire over the course of seven decades. The National Gallery Singapore featured her paintings dating back to the 1950s, gradually moving into experimental sculptures, performances and video, finally culminating into transformative and absolutely breathtaking installations and large-scale paintings created with her iconic obsession of dots, nets and pumpkins.
Almost surreal, my favourite part of the exhibition was the Infinity Mirrored Room which felt like a dream brought to life. The entirety of the works displayed in the various galleries plunged me into a state of awe with the play on colour, form, and space like nothing I'd ever seen before, making it an unparalleled sensory experience.
Stay tuned. Stay inspired.
