來源 東京白石畫廊 亞洲重要私人收藏 附:草間彌生工作室開立之作品登錄卡 穿越黑暗的溫暖擁抱 草間彌生的南瓜「自畫像」 放眼世界當代藝壇,無人可比草間彌生這般成為席捲全球的藝術偶像。自2021至2023年在紐約植物園舉辦的「草間彌生:宇宙自然」大型個展中各色造型活潑若自有性格的南瓜雕塑驚豔全場、至香港M+美術館的藝術家回顧展,及日前再次與LV攜手的跨界合作,接連引發大規模的報導,令世界明晰感受她無遠弗屆的魅力。其輝煌的藝術成就迄今廣為人道,自50年代起便不斷激盪出新的藝術火花。其創作可被視為多項藝術運動的先驅,引領了普普藝術、集合藝術、極簡主義、行為藝術和沉浸式藝術的發展,其在藝術史上特出的地位已然確立。作品迄今獲全球逾90間知名藝術機構典藏,如紐約現代藝術博物館、古根漢美術館、惠特尼現代藝術博物館、倫敦泰特美術館、國立東京現代美術館均藏有其作。 1929年生於日本長野苗圃批發商之家的她,自小就對自然世界特別感興趣,童年時被診斷出精神官能症,讓她出現幻聽與幻視,她曾說當自己盯著一件物體看時,常發現其上有蔓延的斑點向外擴散,並能聽到物件與植物對她說話,為克服這樣的視覺幻象及內心的不安與恐懼,她開始藉創作直面精神、心理與生理的困境,此讓她在日後發展出「無限網」、「無限點」、「鏡屋」等系列作品。而在這些會「向她說話」的物體中,「南瓜」是個獨一無二、溫暖而特殊的存在。正如草間日後所回憶:「我第一次看見南瓜是小學的時候,當時我和祖父到一個種子採集場參觀…看到一個人頭般大的南瓜,它還栩栩如生地開始和我說話。南瓜外型實在太可愛了…吸引我的是它脂粉未施、胖胖不加矯飾的大肚子,還有它頑強的精神力。」此使其自1940年代便開始繪畫南瓜,一開始只是紙上手稿不具細節,直自50年代中期便發展出世人所熟悉的精密面貌,迄今仍是草間創作不懈的母題。是次榮譽呈現其完成於1990年最具標誌性、最受市場追捧的黑底黃彩《南瓜》,為藏家提供購藏良機。 如海浪如音律:躍動的生命視象 在這濃烈的黑色背景中,草間以鮮亮如夜之光的銘黃連結交織成的無限網溫柔包覆立於中心的南瓜主體。每一截延伸的網格皆因手繪而略顯不一,生成出一個有機循環、充滿張縮呼吸感的世界。南瓜黃色的身軀被細密的黑色波點佔據,波點由中心向外層層延展,帶著自有其規律的韻律,若凝神端視,觀者將會被吸入那無限擴張、增生的波點視界。圓點的大小排列、縫隙間隔看似整齊劃一,實則錯落有致,形成了如外在無限網般延伸的蜿蜒動態,宛如心音的律動或海波浪般在自然的推動力下高低起伏,令人目眩神迷。 自我消融:詩意而獨立的存在 《南瓜》一作囊括了草間彌生創作中最為經典的三個重要元素:無限網、圓點及南瓜,正如其言:「我的南瓜繪畫也是一點一點的用黑點和網去消融的。」作品雖以「具象」的南瓜作為表現的主體,卻糅合了草間「消融空間」、「沉浸」的藝術精神?。於是,「南瓜」在此彷若脫胎自無限延伸的「網」與「圓點」,與此連綿交融又獨立存在,草間藉由圓點的弧線與網的直線所生成的對立與反差,襯托出南瓜立體的形魂,令人在無限網與點的動態拉鋸與韻律中,看到一個「超越時間存在」的凝固意象,遠遠望去,那碩大的、圓潤的南瓜彷若佔據在舞臺中央,在聚光燈下散發出詩意而靜默的氣息,攝人心魄。 向陽而生,自畫像式的構圖 有別於草間畫中常見「圓而扁」的南瓜造型,《南瓜》在此以豎式的構圖,呈現出一個長形的南瓜。她將原本扁圓的南瓜造型抽高、拉長,如繪畫人像畫般讓其「頂天立地」的呈現於我們眼簾。南瓜的瓜瓣呈現栩栩的波浪狀,像自有生命般地向外擴張、成長,而底部的瓜瓣若牢牢地抓住地面,吸收土地精華,而拉長的身軀與頂部的瓜莖若奮力向上茁壯,企圖超越有限的畫面,突破生命的局限。此狀態正如藝術家自身那一往無前的精神,在不斷超越自我、豐富的生命歷程的曲折與交錯中書寫出獨屬於她的故事,此作正如草間彌生的「自畫像」提煉了在酸甜苦辣中向陽而生的獨特風采。 如日本知名藝術家村上隆在拜訪草間工作室後所言:「離開工作室歸去的路上,風景看起來似乎也跟往常不一樣了。感覺四周的風景都是幻覺,草間女士的繪畫世界才是真實的。因為此行,讓我確信藝術表現的驚人之處,以及其療癒的力量。」正如在真實世界中,草間彌生從南瓜渾圓幽默的造型中所感受的溫暖力量,《南瓜》一作正是她將自我化為一個穿越黑暗向陽而生的種子,帶給世人的一個堅實而溫暖的擁抱!

PROVENANCE Whitestone Gallery, Tokyo Important Private Collection, Asia This work is accompanied by a registration card issued by Yayoi Kusama studio A Warm Embrace through Darkness A Pumpkin "Self Portrait" of Yayoi Kusama Yayoi Kusama is unmatched as a global art idol in the contemporary art world. From 2021-2023, she held the major solo exhibition Kusama: Cosmic Nature in the New York Botanical Garden, in which she employed a wide range of different coloured and shaped pumpkin sculptures imbued with the energy of her own character that amazed visitors. This was followed by a retrospective of her art work at the M+ Museum of visual culture in Hong Kong and she is currently once again working with LV, all events that have been widely reported around the world, emphasizing Kusama's enduring and borderless appeal. Indeed, her artistic achievements are well documented and since the 1950s she has consistently come up with brand new forms of artistic creativity. The work of Yayou Kusama is considered pioneering in several areas of artistic endeavor, including the development of POP art, assemblage art, minimalist art, performance art and immersive art, affording her a unique position in art history. In addition, Kusama's art has been collected by more than 90 renowned art institutions around the world such as The Museum of Modern Art, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, as well as the Tate Modern in London and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo. Yayoi Kusama was born to a family that ran a seedling nursery wholesale company in Nagano Prefecture, Japan in 1929 and from a very young age developed an avid interest in nature. However, as a child Kusama was diagnosed with neuroses which caused her to have auditory and visual hallucinations. Indeed, the artist once recounted how when she watched objects the spots on them often expand outwards and revealed she could hear objects and plants talking to her. In order to overcome these visual hallucinations as well as the inner unease and fear they engendered, Kusama started to use the creation of art to confront and overcome the mental, psychological and physiological difficulties she faced. Moreover, this approach also enabled her to later develop the Infinity-Nets, Infinity-Dots and Infinity Mirror Rooms series of art works. However, of all the objects that would “speak to her,” pumpkins were uniquely warm and special: “I first saw pumpkins when I was at elementary school, at that time my grandfather had taken me to a seed collection field ... and it was there I saw a pumpkin as big as a person's head and it animatedly started to talk to me. Its appearance was really cute ... I was particularly attracted by its original look, its fat and unpretentious belly, as well as its indomitable spirit.” As a result, Kusama started to paint pumpkins in the 1940s but her works were initially confined to paper and not particularly detailed. It was not until the mid-1950s that she first developed the more precise appearance with which the world is now familiar, and to this day pumpkins remain a key motif in her creative work. On this occasion, China Guardian HK Auctions is honored to present the iconic and very much sought after yellow on black background work Pumpkin, completed by Yayoi Kusama in 1990, offering art collectors everywhere a unique opportunity to add to their collection. Waves and Melody: Pulsating Life Image Yayoi Kusama uses bright yellow lines as a light in the night, against a thick black background, which she turns into an infinity-net lattice structure that warmly embraces the body of the pumpkin at the centre of the painting. In addition, each section of the grid is slightly different because they are all painted by hand, which creates an organic cycle and a world filled with a sense being alive. The yellow body of the pumpkin is covered in dense black polka dots and these extend outwards in layers from a central point, imbued with their own regular rhythm. If viewers look closely at the work they find themselves drawn into a world of boundless polka dot expansion and proliferation. The arrangement of these different sized dots and the apparently uniform gaps between them creates order from irregularity and forms a meandering dynamic akin to that of the external infinity-net. It also alludes to the rhythmic sound of the heartbeat or ocean waves, rising and falling in accordance with nature, all the while bedazzling viewers. Self-Obliteration: Poetic and Independent Existence Pumpkin incorporates the three classic elements for which Yayoi Kusama is most renowned: Infinity-nets, polka dots and pumpkins and the artist has noted: “My pumpkin paintings are obliterated by the use of black dots and nets.” Although a “representational” pumpkin is the expressed object, it is also imbued with Kusama's artistic spirit of “spatial obliteration” and “immersion.” As such, the pumpkin in this work appears reborn from the infinitely expanding “net' and “dots,” existing independently from the continuous spreading. Indeed, Kusama uses the opposition and contrast created by the arc line of the dots and the straight lines of the net to highlight the shape of the three dimensional pumpkin. As a result, viewers see a fixed image that “transcends the existence of time” among the back and forth and rhythm of the dynamic infinity-net and dots. Seen from a distance, the large round pumpkin seems to occupy the centre of the stage and under that spotlight it exudes a breathtaking sense of poetry and silence. Growing Towards the Sunlight, Self-Portrait Composition Where Pumpkin differs from Yayoi Kusama's more common “round and flat” depictions of pumpkins is that the artist employs a vertical composition, which showcases its rectangular shape. In this context, she takes her original depiction of pumpkins and makes it taller and longer in a way that is reminiscent of portraiture where the subject stands tall and straight before the viewer. The realistic wave-like ridges along the pumpkin seem to extend outwards and grow, as if alive, while the ridges on the bottom appear to firmly grip the ground and absorb sustenance from the earth. At the same time, the elongated body of the pumpkin and stem at the top appear to be striving to grow upwards or attempting to transcend the limited space of the painting and breakthrough the limits imposed by life. This mirrors the artist's own indomitable spirit, painting works that uniquely tell her own story as through the twists and turns of a rich life journey marked by constant self-transcendence. As with Yayoi Kusama's “self portraits” this painting presents a refined and unique style that grows toward the sunlight despite the challenges of life.
