Painted in 2004, INFINITY-NETS (OPRT) is an exquisite example from Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama’s ground-breaking series of Infinity Nets. Veiled in a shimmering lattice of intricately applied loops, dots, and curls, the vibrant rose and pearl colored canvas mesmerizes with ethereal radiance that beckons us closer, enveloping the viewer in poetic splendor. The delicacies of the contours subtly unfold across the painting like billowing cotton-candy clouds, as Kusama melds the observable with the spiritual to obliterate the picture plane into boundlessness, perfectly epitomizing the artist’s notion of the infinity.
