WHAT? Yayoi Kusama: Every Day I Pray For Love 

WHERE? Victoria Miro Gallery, 16 Wharf Road, London N1 7RW

WHEN? Now until 2nd November.  Free but ticketed and getting booked up fast 

WHY GO? For an exhilarating journey. Ever since her first solo exhibition in 1998 with the trailblazing Victoria Miro gallery, the Kusama name has spread far and wide garnering fans of all ages that are mesmerised by her take on art and unique creation of the Infinity mirrored room. 

Who doesn’t feel a spine tingling moment, entering a room that pulsates with lights transforming graphics creating a cosmic feeling of being in space?

That is, unless you have vertigo, then tread carefully, for you will feel a tad dizzy but it’s worth it! 

This new gallery exhibition follows her creation of two huge public sculptures in London and is already getting booked up fast.

Kusama is still firing on all cylinders. Her obsession with colourful swirling graphics is portrayed through new artworks, large and small, dotted about the gallery alongside a large-scale installation of soft sculptures hanging from the rafters like tendrils. With names like The Moment of Regeneration it reflects her vision of growth and renewal.

The whole exhibition showcases an iconic Kusama at the pinnacle of her career, an artist who has made colourful imaginative patterns the focus of her creative oeuvre. 

It is a dazzling madcap whirl through colour.

IN THE KNOW Continuing the exhibition’s theme, the gallery’s canal-side terrace showcases Kusama’s brand new sculptures, a series of three-dimensional bronze female faces, each with a playful edge mimicking motifs from former artworks. 

There is seemingly no end to her idiosyncratic imagination!
