Yayoi Kusama at The Centre Pompidou
The first retrospective of works by celebrated Japanese contemporary artist, Yatoi Kusama, has recently ended in Paris and is making it's way to The Tate Modern in London (9th Feb - 5th June 2012).
As a sufferer of mental illness from an early age, her art originates from hallucinations and psychological traumas. Her illness is plain to see in her repetitive, obsessional dot patterns central to her work.
Kusama's large-scale installations invite the viewer to immerse themselves in a world of both order and chaos. Since 1977, Kusama has, voluntarily, been living in a psychiatric institution.
Beautiful images...can't wait to see this exibition at the Tate Modern in London
