"All the Eternal Love" Acrylic on Canvas, 2014-Yayoi Kusama
In 2009, Kusama began My Eternal Soul, a new series of acrylic-on-canvas paintings that builds upon her signature style of nets and dots. ... The paintings are surreal, semi-figurative, folksy explosions of colour and line that pulsate with complementary hues and biomorphic shapes, just like Amoebas.
