Literature
Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama is best known for her inexhaustible creations involving polka-dots pumpkins and eccentric self-portraits, entering her ninth decade into the art world, the demand for her works shows no signs of slowing down. 33 Auction is proud to present 3 of her most iconic works in this sale.

Kusama’s works are always transcendental, they are ever invitational to the viewers into her inner thoughts and personal interpretation of the world. Painted in style of surrealistic rendition, it is hard to place her works into any category definable within the 20th – 21st century. Corollary, Kusama’s art is the numero uno of present times.

To understand Kusama’s art, of her infinity spreads of polka-dots, extends from her suppressive youth. Taught to behave within Japan’s accepted role of a women, and often dismissed by her mother for having dreams beyond the role of a submissive ready-to-be housewife, Kusama turned to art as a way to protest. To have suffered a lifelong condition of panic attack and hallucinations, Yayoi self admitted into a psychiatric day care hospital in Japan, for the past 40 years. Having said that, we can deduce that Kusama’s artistic creation urge begins with her anxieties and horrendous childhood memories.

As Kusama dots hers works and carves out the compositional space obsessively, neurotically, filling out the entire compositional space, works like Self Portrait and Commemorative Photograph is Kusama’s self- exploitatory yet cathartic mode of art creation.

日本藝術家草間彌生以其無窮無盡点点作品而著稱,其中涉及圓點南瓜和怪異的自畫像,進入藝術界已經九十年了,艺术收藏者對其作品的需求沒有絲毫放緩的跡象。 33拍賣會很自豪地在此次拍賣中展示了她最標誌性的三幅作品。

草間彌生的作品總是超驗的,它們總是邀請觀眾欣賞她的內心思想和對世界的個人解釋。以超現實主義渲染的風格繪畫,很難將它們置於20-21世紀可定義的任何類別中。這使她成為當今重要的藝術家。

要了解草間彌生的藝術,是因為她散發著無限的波爾卡圓點,這源於她壓抑的青春。草間彌生被教導要在日本公認的女性角色範圍內行事,並常常因母親的夢想超出了順從的準家庭主婦的角色而被母親解僱,草間彌生轉向藝術作為抗議的方式。由於經歷了終生的驚恐發作和幻覺,草間彌生在過去的40年中進入了日本的一家精神病日間護理醫院。話雖如此,我們可以推斷出草間彌生的藝術創作渴望始於她的焦慮和可怕的童年記憶。

隨著草間彌生的點點滴滴,她的作品迷戀地,神經質地切入整個構圖空間,填滿了整個構圖空間,《自畫像》和《紀念攝影》等作品是草間彌生的一種自我剝削卻又宣洩的藝術創作方式。

Seniman Jepang Yayoi Kusama dikenal akan kreasi tiada habisnya yang melibatkan labu polkadot dan potret diri yang eksentrik. Memasuki dekade kesembilannya ke dunia seni, permintaan akan karyanya tidak menunjukkan tanda-tanda melambat. 33 Auction dengan bangga mempersembahkan 3 karyanya yang paling ikonik dalam lelang ini.

Karya Kusama selalu transendental, selalu mengundang penonton ke dalam pikiran batinnya dan interpretasi pribadinya tentang dunia. Dicat dengan gaya surealistik, sulit untuk menempatkan karyanya ke dalam kategori apa pun yang didefinisikan dalam abad ke-20 hingga ke-21. Maka dari itu, kesenian Kusama menjadi penanda kesenian baru.

Untuk memahami seni Kusama, tentang penyebaran polkadotnya yang tak terbatas, perlu dimengerti perjalan masa mudanya yang menekan. Ia diajarkan untuk berperilaku layaknya seorang wanita menurut ajaran Jepang, dan mimpinya untuk memiliki karir diluar peran ibu rumah tenggah tidak di toleransi ibunya. Kusama beralih ke seni sebagai cara untuk memprotes. Dengan riwayat serangan panik dan halusinasi, Yayoi dirawat di rumah sakit perawatan psikiatri di Jepang, selama 40 tahun terakhir. Karena itu, kita dapat menyimpulkan bahwa dorongan kreasi artistik Kusama dimulai dengan kecemasan dan kenangan masa kecilnya yang buruk.

Karya-karya seperti Self Portrait dan Commemorative Photograph adalah mode kreasi seni Kusama yang mengekploitasi dirinya secara katarsis. Ia membintik karya-karyanya dan mengukir ruang komposisi secara obsesif, neurotik, mengisi seluruh ruang komposisi.
