ABOUT ARTISTS : Yayoi Kusama
Over the course of her distinguished career, Yayoi Kusama has developed a practice, which, though it shares affiliations with Surrealism, Minimalism, Pop art, Eccentric Abstraction, the Zero and Nul movements, resists any singular classification. Born in Matsumoto City, Japan in 1929, she studied painting in Kyoto before moving to New York in the late 1950s, and by the mid-1960s had become well known in the avant-garde world for her provocative happenings and exhibitions. Since this time, Kusama's extraordinary artistic endeavours have spanned painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, performance, film, printmaking, installation and environmental art as well as literature, fashion (most notably in her 2012 collaboration with Louis Vuitton) and product design. An enduring feature of Kusama’s unique art is the intricate lattice of paint that covers the surface of her Infinity Net canvases, the negative spaces between the individual loops of these all-over patterns emerging as delicate polka dots. These motifs have their roots in hallucinations from which she has suffered since childhood, in which the world appears to her to be covered with proliferating forms. Forging a path between abstract expressionism and minimalism, Kusama first showed her white Infinity Nets in New York in the late 1950s to critical acclaim.

ABOUT EXHIBITION : EVERY DAY I PRAY FOR LOVE
Victoria Miro is delighted to announce Yayoi Kusama’s fourteenth solo exhibition with the gallery. Yayoi Kusama: EVERY DAY I PRAY FOR LOVE offers a rare chance to experience a new Infinity Mirrored Room – Beauty Described by a Spherical Heart and introduces works from the artist’s latest series of paintings and sculptures installed across Gallery I and our waterside garden. Created in a more intimate format, these paintings continue the artist's singular explorations of line and form. Often minutely detailed, with characteristically bold accents of colour, they evoke both microscopic and macroscopic universes. The exhibition also features new sculptures, which will be on view in the gallery and on the canalside terrace. This exhibition marks 26 years since Kusama's first solo presentation with Victoria Miro in 1998.
