In 2017, Singaporeans flocked the National Gallery to witness Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama's colourful art exhibition, "Yayoi Kusama: Life is the Heart of a Rainbow".

This year, another solo exhibition by Kusama is being held in Singapore.

Monochrome-themed

"Recent Paintings" is her first solo exhibition in Singapore since 2017's "Life is the Heart of a Rainbow".

However, unlike the colourful exhibition in 2017, the "Yayoi Kusama: Recent Paintings" exhibition will feature:

  • 15 monochrome paintings from her "My Eternal Soul" series made in 2019 to 2020.
  • "Clouds", a sculpture installation from 2019 which features mirror-finished stainless steel forms.

Here's a quick preview of this exhibition:
