永恆的愛 Love – Forever 草間彌生於二十八歲前往美國，一切都是為了逃離保守的日本以及威權的母親，她曾說過，如果沒有美國就沒有現在的草間彌生，即使是對現在的草間而言「前往美國」還是她心中一個最具有決定性、攸關命運的關鍵時刻。草間彌生作品多元，類型包括繪畫、軟雕塑、行為藝術、裝置、影片，涵蓋普普藝術、女權主義、超現實主義、原生藝術、抽象表現主義、乍現藝術等派別。她以藝術療癒自己，每日大量且不間斷的創作療癒了她的心靈甚至當今許多跨界合作，皆展現了她豐富的藝術生命。 「什麼都不能實現，如果只有一個圓點。在宇宙中，有太陽，月亮，地球和數億顆恆星。 在這樣的情況下通過藝術追求的宇宙哲學影響了我，也是我所呈現的重複。」─草間彌生 當各界開始嘗試各種可能性的探索，希冀藉由凌駕於造型藝術之上的創作思維，使人文空間出現更多意想不到的別緻與玩味。「型變」形成一股風潮，穿梭於藝術與造型之間成為最有魅力的當代雕塑工藝。她以大量的圓點包覆各種物體的表面，牆壁、地板、畫布、物品、人體、甚至自己。藉由重複性的線條將圓點無限的蔓延，混淆了真實空間的存在，使得觀賞者不自覺的陷入眩暈狀態，不知身處真實或虛幻。此件作品《永恆的愛》有著草間彌生經典意象，經典圓點。密實彩亮的單色重複線點圖案佈滿整個作品，這種無盡的重複製造了某種暈眩、催眠感。這樣鮮明的色彩超越了我們的視覺經驗，彷彿在整個宇宙中蔓延開來，她的幻覺和實體經驗以及環境、物體之間產生了結合，她的自我進入了永恆場域，形成一個徹底排他的世界，「草間彌生」狀態完美的呈現，圓點的反覆增生與變形，進行突破窠臼的造型藝術型變，創作出具有草間彌生反覆增生意象之作品。 When Yayoi Kusama left for the United States at the age of 28, she might have simply sought sought to break free from her mother’s grip and her country’s conservatism. As she has said herself, the Yayoi Kusama we know today wouldn’t be around if it weren’t for the US. For her, the fateful decision to move on to America remains one of the most critical moments of her life. Yayoi Kusama’s works range from painting and sculpture, to performance art, installation, and film, containing different methods and elements from pop art, feminism, surrealism, native art, abstract expressionism, and happenings. She heals herself through art and demonstrates her rich artistic life with a significant and continuous daily practice that soothes the spirit and extends a collaborating hand across disciplines. “With just one polka dot, nothing can be achieved. In the universe, there is the sun, the moon, the earth, and hundreds of millions of stars,” the artist has mused. “Pursuing the philosophy of the universe through art under such circumstances has led me to what I call stereotypical repetition.”- Yayoi Kusama She hoped that people of different backgrounds would begin attempting to explore the realm of all that is possible and prioritise creative thought in the plastic arts to make room for new creative and playful potential in arts and cultural spaces. Her work became a sensation as it bounced between art and design and took form as the most alluring of contemporary plastic arts: a multitude of dots that cover the surfaces of all kinds of things, from walls and floors, to canvases, objects, and bodies, even the artist herself. Repeated lines of dots extend into infinity, creating confusion about what a space actually is, and leading the viewer to unconsciously fall into a dizzied state, unsure of how to distinguish the reality from the illusion. This work, “Love-Forever”, contains Yayoi Kusama’s classic imagery and dots. A densely coloured, monochromatic polka dot pattern fills the work and is repeated to the point of producing a certain dizzy, hypnotic feeling. Its vivid colour goes beyond our visual experience and seems to spread through the cosmos. As her hallucinations are combined with real experiences, environments, and material things, her ego enters an infinite plane, forming a world that floats totally on its own. It is a perfect presentation of what makes the work of Yayoi Kusama truly original, and the everproliferating, deforming dots can be thanked for having spurred a breakthrough in the plastic arts and making this work an undeniable ‘Yayoi Kusama’.
