Infinity-Nets [TSSXPZ] is an example of Yayoi Kusama’s most personal and renowned body of work. Painted in 2007, this work directly relates to the Infinity Net canvases the artist began painting in New York in the late 1950s. The intricate interweaving of dots and nets shows a mature manifestation of the artist’s original concept. Gazing upon this work we are sent down the intimate spiraling staircase of Kusama’s brilliant, complicated mind. Enchanted by these netsa viewer becomes lost in their own personal associations and mesmerized by a mixture of abstraction, ethereality and true infiniteness.
