A mesmerizing composition by Yayoi Kusama, "River" (1994) channels the artist's signature obsessive repetition through flowing patterns rendered in acrylic on canvas. The work evokes the ceaseless movement of water through Kusama's iconic net-like or polka-dotted forms, suggesting an infinite, undulating current that dissolves the boundary between figuration and abstraction. True to her lifelong exploration of self-obliteration, Kusama immerses the viewer in a hypnotic visual rhythm that feels simultaneously intimate and boundless.
