This half term, the juniors have been exploring the imaginative installations, sculptures, paintings and infinity rooms created by the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, who only died this summer at the age of 97.
The pupils have been so curious about her fascinating interpretations of nature, particularly her pumpkins, mushrooms and flowers, all in extremely bold colour, striking patterns and of course, her signature polka-dots.
Recently, one of her mushroom paintings sold for an incredible £49 million at Sotherby’s! She is one of the most influential and well-respected artists of the 21st century.
Her work is currently on display at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam or you can come along and see our interpretations of her work which is currently brightening up our corridors!
