Kusama by Elisa Macellari is a biographical graphic novel based around the life of the Japanese contemporary artist, Yayoi Kusama, who's art rose to prominence in New York in the 1960's.

I was lucky enough to have been to a Kusama art exhibit that features her famous Infinite Room installation at The Broad in Los Angeles, California. While Kusama has a fascinating upbringing with her parents and growing up in Japan, the thing that stuck out to me the most with this graphic novel are the illustrations.

I adored Elisa Maceralli's artwork and her interpretation of Kusama's famous pieces. The art style and color story featured in this book is stunning and truly riveting.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Wow I didn't know that artist at all. I have to say that her work with the holes and stuff is quite unsettling 😂 but her performances I found very interesting. I'm grateful that I had a chance to hear about her. The graphic novel itself is a fast and well constructed read. I could relate to her mental health issues as well.

Thanks to Laurence King Publishing and NetGalley for this ARC. I :)
