Poster created for the exhibition Soul Burning Flashes, Yayoi Kusama: Sculpture.

Considered Japan’s greatest living artist, Yayoi Kusama (b. 1929) exhibited at Modern Art Oxford in 1989. Kusama’s work centres around repetitions of the same patterns. She says these stem from her dreams and hallucinations, transformed into obsessional images. She says: 'My art originates from hallucinations only I can see. I translate the hallucinations and obsessional images that plague me into sculptures and paintings. All my works are the products of obsessional neurosis and are therefore inextricably connected to my disease.'
