Japan's most revered contemporary artist, Yayoi Kusama presents her first solo exhibition in London since the Serpentine Gallery exhibition in 2000. Kusama's visual art largely shares a common vocabulary of dense, repetitive patterns made from cell-like clusters called infinity nets. The Infinity Net series of paintings have preoccupied Kusama throughout her entire career. Comprising thousands of tiny, intersecting dots they represent the artist's expression of her perceptual encounter with the physical world and can be traced back to early hallucinations she first had in her childhood of multiplying dots and nets, which gradually spread to dominate her universe. The gallery will present new Infinity Net paintings, alongside figurative drawings, in this, the second exhibition at Victoria Miro 14.

In a career spanning more than fifty years, Yayoi Kusama is known not only as an artist but also as a novelist, underground filmmaker and fashion designer. Kusama represented Japan at the Venice Biennale (1993) and has been the subject of many major international museum exhibitions, including Yayoi Kusama, National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo (touring Japan), (2004-2005); Kusamatrix, Mori Museum of Art, Tokyo, (2004); Yayoi Kusama, Le Consortium, contemporary art center, Dijon (touring France, Denmark, Korea), (2001-2002); Yayoi Kusama, Serpentine Gallery, (2000) and Love Forever: Yayoi Kusama 1958-1969, Museum of Modern Art, New York, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Walker Art Center and Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, (1998-99).
