受到童年經驗影響,草間彌生的作品充滿了原始生命動感,震撼人心,與她的人生經歷息息相關。她幼年罹患神經性視聽障礙,因此雕塑作品和裝置藝術中,喜歡重複繪畫大黑點,密密麻麻的黑點,重現她眼睛所看到視覺幻象,並引領觀者進入她獨特而深層的內心世界,體驗一場超現實、富有性意涵的視覺旅程。草間彌生的作品表面覆滿重複的花樣圖案,圖案鋪天蓋地的延生,彷彿要掩沒、摧毀這個世界。

草間彌生選擇南瓜這種礫質飽滿的蔬菜為題,呼應其獨特的大黑點。藝術品表面洋溢著土壤和砂礫的質感,宛如本身就帶有許多圓形斑點的南瓜表面。

在小幅畫作《南瓜》(Lot 1506)中,草間彌生將其代表性作品《無限之網》系列與她最鍾愛的南瓜用細膩筆觸結合在一起。明快的黃色點亮了暗沉的背景,在作品沉重的壓迫感中驚現輕盈跳躍妙趣橫生的視覺感。在15件陶器南瓜系列作品中 (Lot 1473),幾件紫色或粉紅的小南瓜尤其生動而迷離。陶器的花樣圖案呈現著藝術家兒時的視覺記憶,這些記憶被盛放在便攜小巧的匣子裡,讓今天的我們也觸手可及。而另一件作品《南瓜》(Lot 1472)則以其凹凸的表面與閃爍的青銅色澤,讓人出乎意料的心情愉悅,其不規則的、不完美的形狀反而更惹人喜愛。從質感超俗的作品中,我們發現藝術創作正是草間彌生心理壓力的出口,讓草間彌生能和觀者分享她的內心世界。


作品南瓜,呼應草間彌生獨特的大黑點,藝術品表面洋溢著土壤和砂礫的質感,宛如本身就帶有許多圓形斑點的南瓜表面。繁複一致的花樣圖案呈現出草間彌生內心的執著,然而她的南瓜作品卻讓人出乎意料的心情愉悅,作品中刻意運用黃黑色與青銅的銹綠色,簡單素雅,讓人心平氣和。從質感超俗的作品中,我們發現藝術創作正是草間彌生心理壓力的出口,讓草間彌生能和觀者分享她的內心世界。

拍品專文

Drawing from her childhood experiences, Yayoi Kusama's works are at once profoundly autobiographical and provocative. The presence of obsessively repeated polka dots on her sculptures and installations are physical recreations of her overwhelming visual hallucinations as a child, drawing the viewer into her eccentric and profound world vision.

The choice of pumpkins- a gritty, hearty vegetable of the earth as a motif a compelling counterpart to Kusama's signature dots, which in themselves already mimic the round, spotty surface texture of the vegetable. In the small scale Pumpkin (Lot 1506) painting, we find a combination of her signature Infinity Nets series and her favored pumpkins rendered with meticulous strokes. Using a sharp yellow to offset the dark background, the visual sensation is surprisingly light and playful despite the compulsive nature of the work. In the set of 15 porcelain pumpkins (Lot 1473), the small purple or pink works are ever more playful and psychedelic. In its small scale they are transportable in their original case, and serve as a small reminder that the patterns of each piece is a visual carried by Kusama from her childhood, one which we can now carry around too. Pumpkin (Lot 1472) is surprisingly inviting in its lumpy and gleaming bronze surface. It is even pleasing in its off balanced, imperfect shape. In examining her highly textured sculptures, we find a liberating outlet for Kusama's psychological hardship, a generous sharing of herself to the spectator.
