Summary
- Adele visited Yayoi Kusama's installation in 2016.
- Kusama's art inspired Adele's Brit Awards performance.
- The artist pursued art until her final days at age 97.
Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, celebrated for her avant-garde contributions across various art forms, passed away this month at the age of 97. Kusama was known for her dedication to her craft, continuing to paint until her last days.
In 2016, singer Adele found inspiration within Kusama's "Infinity Mirrored Room - The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away" at The Broad museum in Los Angeles. She described the installation as a space that allowed her to "see different versions of yourself from every angle."
This hour-long experience in the mirrored room deeply impacted Adele, influencing her performance of "When We Were Young" at the 2016 Brit Awards. Kusama, who passed away in Tokyo, had spoken about her art reflecting her philosophy of interconnectedness and a longing for world peace.
Kusama's career spanned decades, leaving an indelible mark on the art world through her unique vision and persistent creative spirit.
