A good friend of mine, Erica Grainger, introduced me to Yayoi Kusama a few years ago. I instantly loved her! I love loads of colour, bold shapes and forms so she ticked all my boxes.

The above image from her latest solo show in NYC totally blew me away. I would love to stand in that room.

Here are some more stunning images from the show, I want to go there! The paintings are interesting but the installation rooms really blow me away:
