+ OVERVIEW
"It seems that there is a kind of inexplicable magic, entangled in this endless network of infinity. The viewer does not know the direction of the net, which produces a psychedelic effect similar to hypnosis." The famous New York art dealer Beatrice Perry gave this kind of praise when he first saw the infinite network of Kusama. "Infinity - Nets [ PERR ]", acrylic on canvas work dated 1998, the concept is that of the reproduction of a two-tone speckled netting, like the artist's representative imprint, paired with avant-garde artistic expression technique, allowing Yayoi Kusama to cross boundaries of nationality and gender. The restrictions are unique among the contemporary art scene. The yellow is derived from an illusion that only the artist herself can perceive, and further reflects the "infinite" visual effect on the canvas. "From the creator's point of view, everything is like gambling, as the art jumps to the unknown." Just as you can't find the starting point of "Infinity - Nets [ PERR ]", you don't know where the end will be either.
