Concept A

It's begin from my most memorable Kusama's work. My first impression of her work is the wave, countless combinations of wave pattern becomes a feeling can be infinitely extended work pieces.

Most of her work is repetitive, repetitive the graphics and colors.

She also made a great contribution and influence to pop art. Pop art is short for popular art, also known as new realism, because pop art POP is often regarded as "popular, fashionable" word abbreviation. The term "pop art" was originally proposed by British art critic Laurence Alloway. It represents a kind of popular culture, is a kind of connection between popular culture and art in the United States under the influence of modern civilization and produced an international art movement, the society's image in the drama or accidental event as content. Among them, Andy Warhol is the initiator and leader of pop art, and the artist who has the greatest influence on pop art. When it comes to pop art, Andy Warhol, the crazy in pop art, his painting almost invariably. He put those from mass media images, such as Campbell, Coca-Cola bottles, Monalisa and Marilyn Monroe head etc. as the basic element repeatedly arranged in painting. He tried to completely eliminate the manual elements in artistic creation. All his works are made by screen printing technology, and the images can be repeated many times, bringing a unique mechanical effect to the picture. For his work, Harold Rosenberg once jokingly said: "Campbell can numb repeat is composed of columns, like a humorous joke said no again and again." But his answer was simply that he preferred repetition and repetition.

by Yayoi Kusama , Andy Warhol praised her perfect performance. At the same time, Andy Warhol absorbed all the elements around him like a wholesale store dealing with imitations. Three years later, Andy Warhol in the exhibition show on " Cow Wallpaper" works, can be seen by the influence of Kusama.

I think these repetitive patterns and bright colors are very interesting, so I want to use "repeat" as my design inspiration.
