Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama is spot on with her love of polka dots.
“My life, a dot: one of a million particles. A white net of nothingness composed of an astronomical aggregation of connected dots will obliterate me and others, and the whole of the universe”. -Yayoi Kusama.
Reading these words, a polka dot is not only a crucial symbol of Kusama’s artwork, it embodies her all-encompassing mode of expression, in which these motifs expand into infinity. The artist’s attraction for polka dots takes shape with the mechanical repetition seen in Minimalism.
Her recent collaboration with Marc Jacobs of Louis Vuitton is a new way to express her attraction to polka dots as well as using art to influence fashion.
With the influences of Kusama and Louis Vuitton, get ready for an explosion of polka dots everywhere!
