Yayoi Kusama (born 22 March 1929) is a Japanese contemporary artist who works primarily in sculpture and installation. She is also active in painting, performance, video art, fashion, poetry, fiction, and other arts. Her work is based in conceptual art and shows some attributes of feminism, minimalism, surrealism, art brut, pop art, and abstract expressionism, and is infused with autobiographical, psychological, and sexual content.

I want to tell you what number or letter that represents, but just can't do it. 😕

As a partially color blind person, I should have seen this coming. But no, that's just the artist's style, she loves dots.

Beautiful.

And pardon me, coming with the college wit response, above. I'd not seen her work before, and am intrigued.

From an art-POV, this one's coming from possibly from an post-OPart perspective? What do you think..?

All good, enjoy the art anyway you like.

And yes, op-art is her thing for sure.
