The Yayoi Kusama Collection

The Yayoi Kusama collection was curated to bring together artworks on Rise Art that reflect Kusama’s unique and eye-catching style. Featuring abstract paintings, yellow artworks, and geometric sculptures, the collection showcases a range of styles, mediums and artists, offering something for every collector looking to have an element of Kusama in their interior. About Yayoi Kusama Born in Matsumoto, Japan, in 1929, Yayoi Kusama went on to become one of the world’s most celebrated Pop Artists, sculptors, painters, and female artists of all time. Following a traumatic childhood, Kusama found solace in drawing pictures of spots and pumpkins (inspired by her family’s work on a seed farm). These two motifs would last her whole career and become her visual calling card. Artwork Selection The Yayoi Kusama Edit features a collection of paintings, prints, mixed media works and more, all echoing varying elements of Kusama’s iconic style. Inspired by Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirror Rooms at Tate Modern, our curator Verity Babbs curates a collection of works with a strong ‘dot’ aesthetic, yellow works and abstract collages.

Artwork Selection Celebrating what would have been the great artist's 114th birthday - this collection gathers together imagery reminiscent of the work and life of Kahlo, spanning across painting, print, and photography.

Inspired by PRIDE

This collection highlights artworks and artists on the Rise Art platform engaging with the rich history of LGBTQ+ communities. Explore a kaleidoscopic range of works delving into ideas around identity, acceptance, and the queer experience. A Proud History Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist and one-half of the first legally married same-sex couple in America, first coined the term ‘gay pride’ in the late 1960s. The history of LGBTQ+ people is as old as the history of humanity itself, and each year countries worldwide come together to celebrate the stories, movements, and moments shared by LGBTQ+ communities. In a world where members of the LGBTQ+ community still face persecution, it is still as important as ever to celebrate and fight for LGBTQ+ rights. Artwork Selection From cigarette paper drawings to embroidered installations inspired by gay porn, James Robert Morrison uses a variety of mediums to reflect on the experience of discovering his sexuality and his journey to understanding, accepting and valuing it. Gavin Dobson also explores homosexuality in his colourful paintworks, looking into various LGBTQ+ subcultures and the secret codes and behaviours which surround them. Oleksandr Balbyshev looks at male sexuality and sensuality through a style that merges elements of surrealism and pop art.
