the infinity mirror rooms
In honour of Yayoi Kusama’s birthday this week, our art piece for today is her Infinity Mirror Rooms!
Born in Matsumoto, rural Japan, Yayoi started drawing pumpkins in middle school and creating artwork from her hallucinations. Growing up in an abusive household, Yayoi would often experience intense visions of flowers, flashes of lights and dots. These would later influence her artwork where she channeled her traumatic childhood, and her experience growing up during war time.
Judith Beheading Holofernes
This week’s art piece of the week is “Judith beheading Holofernes” by Artemisia Gentileschi.
The daughter of painter Orazio Gentileschi, Artemisia began painting at the age of fifteen. Born in Rome, Artemisia would go on to paint for the aristocracies of Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples, and London. She was the first woman to become a member of the Accademia di Arte del Disegno in Florence, pushing through the boundaries of the male dominated professional artist world.
