Yayoi Kusama (草間彌生 or 草間弥生, born March 29 or March 22 ,1929) is a Japanese artist. Her paintings, collages, soft sculptures, performance art and environmental installations all share an obsession with repetition, pattern, and accumulation. Her work shows some attributes of feminism, minimalism, surrealism, Art Brut, pop art, and abstract expressionism, and is infused with autobiographical, psychological, and sexual content. She describes herself as an “obsessive artist”. Kusama is also a published novelist and poet, and has created notable work in film and fashion design. She has long struggled with mental illness.

Yayoi Kusama is one of the interesting and amazing artist that i have ever seen with some attributes of feminism, minimalism, surrealism, Art Brut, pop art, and abstract expressionism in her pieces of work. Her work is really inspired and influence to any of the designers if they would like to create a piece of art with those combinations. I just love the fact how she combine it with pop art, she makes every single pieces of her work so unique. modern plus can express the message to the audience. And again she is one of the artist who really influent me.
