Yayoi Kusama — Nets 19
Yayoi Kusama

Nets 19

A mesmerizing expanse of tightly woven, hand-painted nets covers every inch of this acrylic canvas, reflecting Kusama's lifelong obsession with infinity and repetitive mark-making. The intricate web of looping forms dissolves boundaries between foreground and background, drawing the viewer into an endless, hypnotic visual field. This work exemplifies Kusama's pioneering "Infinity Net" series, in which obsessive repetition becomes both a meditative practice and a bold assertion of self.
