Yayoi Kusama, the avant-garde artist from Matsumoto City. Left her hometown for the U.S. more than half a century ago. With her unparalleled individuality, she has become a dominant voice on the global artistic scene.
Born in 1929, Kusama from a family rooted in Matsumoto City; she has battled ever since against the hidden images of her psyche.
From traditional Japanese paintings and drawings of her youth in Matsumoto City; to the Net paintings, soft-sculptures, films, installations, field sculptures, performances and fashion since her time in the U.S; she has continued to break boundaries by creating new art forms. Subsequently, Kusama’s endlessly creative activities mean her portfolio has never become stagnant.
Possessing an unprecedented talent, Yayoi Kusama is an artist worthy to be called a genius. Yet, her achievements have never been easier to obtain. What made her leave her hometown in about sixty years ago? What was in her mind at that time; agony, distress or perhaps, hope?
