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.

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.

What does it mean to be an "established" artist? The Cambridge Dictionary defines the adjective as "accepted or respected because of having existed for a long period of time". Is career longevity enough to make an "established" artist? There are plenty of artists meeting success after only a few years in the game. Maybe it's popularity that helps to "establish" an artist? Salvador Dalà said that the "thermometer of success is merely the jealousy of the malcontents". Success to Dalà was being well known and annoying your competitors. Perhaps the success needed to be deemed "established" is financial? Andy Warhol amassed a huge following, a lot of money, and - as Dalà prioritised - a lot of critics. However, he doubted whether financial success was imperative to "establishing" oneself: "I’ll bet there are lots of artists that nobody hears about who just make more money than anybody. The people that do all the sculptures and paintings for big building construction. We never hear about them, but they make more money than anybody." It seems that it's not clear what truly makes an artist "established", but it's likely a combination of longevity, popularity, and financial success. What is clear, however, is that the concept of "establishing" oneself is not as important as staying true to one's artistic truth. "Don’t be fooled by success and money. Don’t let anything come between you and your work." – Louise Bourgeois "Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing." – Georgia O’Keeffe We have brought together a collection of work by Rise Artists who have excelled by any definition of success, including Gavin Turk, Takashi Murakami, Tom Phillips, Fatola Israel, Sandra Blow, Sir Peter Blake,, Dave White, Jane Ward, Joe Webb, Andy Gotts, Philip Vaughan, Halima Cassell, Nina Fowler, Reisha Perlmutter, Rosalind Davis, Sara Shamma, Alexandra Gallagher, Seçil Erel, Adam Bridgland, Patrick Hughes, KAWS, Nadia Attura, Irene Hoff, Nelson Makamo and Odilia Fu.
