Yayoi Kusama

Snail

A mesmerizing screenprint by the iconic Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, "Snail" showcases her signature obsessive dot patterns and bold, vivid colors rendered on delicate Izumi paper. The composition transforms the humble snail into a hypnotic, psychedelic form, with Kusama's characteristic repetitive motifs enveloping the subject in a dense, rhythmic visual energy. Printed with full margins, this work exemplifies Kusama's lifelong exploration of infinity, self-obliteration, and the therapeutic power of pattern.
