Yayoi Kusama

It is not so often that we have the opportunity to witness an exhibition featuring a wide range of works from the ever fascinating Yayoi Kusama. It is amazing to think she now is 80 but continues to be on such a creative and groundbreaking roll. But that said, she now has been this way for decades. Obsessed with dots, repetition, pattern and aggregation. It came as a shock a few months back while visiting a gallery in Darwin when I discovered the work of a 'modern' aboriginal artist using dots in her painting entitled Hail Storm in practically the same way Yayoi is in works like The Moment of Regeneration. From aboriginal Art, to New York through Japan and back to Australia. And it is unlikely these two Artists are even aware of each other's work. In the meantime, you still have time to go to Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art since the exhibition entitled Yayoi Kusama: Mirrored Years still runs until the 8th of June. A very rare opportunity.
