超越画布之外 — 环境雕塑家草间弥生

“我笔下的网不仅超越自己,更超越画布本身。这些网一直延伸至墙壁、天花,最终覆盖整个宇宙。” — 草间弥生

被誉为是日本现存国宝级艺术家的草间弥生,1957年前往美国纽约,开始从事前卫的艺术创作,曾与西方当代重要的艺术家,包括克来茵、琼斯与欧登柏格、安迪.沃荷一起联展,活跃于国际艺坛,并一度引领当时盛行的普普艺术风潮。1993年,草间弥生成为第一位单独代表日本参加威尼斯双年展的女性艺术家,自此草间弥生在日本及西方国际艺坛的地位得以确立。

草间弥生在90年代末着手创作雕塑,并将自己定位为雕塑家多于画家,2000年她开始创作大型公共户外雕塑,其中包括2002年创作日本长野县松本市美术馆的《幻之华》、2003年日本新潟松代町的《妻有花开》、2007年美国比佛利山庄的《生命赞歌:郁金香》“花卉”一直是草间弥生重要的创作题材之一,它们象征了生命的绽放与凋零,庆祝与哀悼,阳刚与阴柔,以有机、脆弱、繁殖的生命型态,无止尽地缠绕、盘踞整个画布与艺术家创造的奇幻世界。草间弥生曾在她的自传中提到:“大自然、宇宙、人类、血、花,还有各式各样森罗万象的事物,自从我懂事以来,它们便以神奇、恐惧或者是神秘的方式,在我的视觉、听觉,还有内心深处留下深刻的印象。它们牢牢纠缠住我的生命,不放我离开。”

“有一天,当我还小的时候,我身处突然出现的人形花卉之中,发觉自己全身发抖,感到恐惧。我被花园里数百朵紫罗兰包围。那些紫罗兰长有奇怪表情,像人一样互相聊天。我与它们进行心灵对话后,开始迷恋它们,不能自拔地陷入幻想中的绚丽意境,脱离这个世界。”(引自草间弥生,〈自我灵魂的挣扎与游荡〉,《草间弥生》展览图录,费顿出版社,1975,页118)

画布以外,草间弥生亦以立体进行创作,她把画布上的主题呈现在感官所能触及的真实空间,提供多一层次的视觉刺激。其色彩斑斓的雕塑释放着强韧的生命力《花 - 绽放在午夜》创作于2009年,充满生命力的花朵为草间弥生大型雕塑之一,质感细腻且色彩丰富。纵向的叶子外伸展,绽放的花朵似是天真烂漫,头状花蕊则换上一只大眼睛,别具感染力且极具震撼力。草间弥生造了一个引人入胜的空间和意境,透视着艺术家梦幻般的精神世界,幻化成他最目眩神迷、最受世人瞩目的精彩创作。


Beyond the Canvas — Environmental Sculptor Yayoi Kusama

"The net under my brush transcends not only myself, but also the canvas itself. These nets extend to the walls and ceilings, and eventually cover the entire universe." — Yayoi Kusama

Yayoi Kusama, who is generally recognized to be one of Japan’s greatest living artists, began to create avant–garde art after moving to New York in 1957. She held joint exhibitions with leading Western artists of the day such as Yves Klein, Jasper Johns, Claes Oldenburg and Andy Warhol, and became a prominent figure on the international art scene, playing an important role in the growth of the Pop Art movement. In 1993, Kusama became the first female Japanese artist to represent Japan at the Venice Biennale, firmly establishing her status as a major figure in the art world both in the West and in Japan.

Yayoi Kusama set out to create sculptures in the late 1990s and positioned herself as a sculptor more than a painter. In 2000, she began to create large-scale public outdoor sculptures, including “The Visionary Flowers” in Matsumoto City Art Museum, Nagano Prefecture, Japan in 2002, “Tsumari in Bloom” in Matsushiro-cho, Niigata, Japan in 2003, and “Hymn of Life: Tulips” in Beverly Hills, USA in 2007. Flowers have always been one of Kusama’s favored themes. They symbolize the flowering and withering of life, celebration and grief, hardness and softness. These fragile, organic, bountiful life– forms sprawl all over the paintings, dominating both the canvas and the fantastical world that the artist is seeking to create. In her autobiography, Yayoi Kusama noted that: “ever since she was a child, nature, the universe, humanity, blood, flowers and all sort of other things have left deep impressions – in a magical, terrifying or mysterious way – on her visual and auditory perception and on her heart. She said that they had entwined themselves around her life, never letting her escape.”

“One day, when I was a little girl, I found myself trembling, all over my body, with fear, amid flowers incarnate, which had appeared all of a sudden. I was surrounded by hundreds of violets in a flower garden. The violets, with uncanny expressions, were chatting among themselves like human beings. No sooner had they and I had spiritual dialogues than I became infatuated with them, drawn into glitter of illusion, away from this world” (Kusama Yayoi, “The Struggle and Wandering of My Soul”, 1975, in exh. cat. Yayoi Kusama, Phaidon, p. 118).

In addition to the canvas, Yayoi Kusama also engages in three dimensions creation. Through exhibiting her theme originally on canvas, the actual space that can be touched by all senses, providing an extra level of visual stimulation. “Flowers - That Bloom at Midnight” created in 2009, which multicolored releases a strong sense of vitality. This vibrant flower is one of the large scale sculptures of Kusama, with delicate texture and abundant colors. The longitudinal leaves stretch out, the blooming flower looks innocent and the stamen is replaced with a large eye, that is so infectious and powerful. Kusama creates a fascinating space and artistic conception, which sees through her dreamlike spiritual world, that in turn transforms into her most dazzling and wonderful creation.
