REcreative Winners’ Work on Show at the Louis Vuitton Maison
Friday 8 June - Sunday 8 July 2012
REcreative and Louis Vuitton are delighted to announce that works by the winner and shortlisted entrants to the REcreative Kusama-themed competition are now on display at an exhibition at the Louis Vuitton Maison on New Bond Street.
Yi Dai’s winning work, along with pieces by the four other shortlisted young artists aged 16-25, which were inspired by the competition’s theme of 'obsession', are on show from 8 June - 8 July 2012.
Yi Dai’s work, entitled Pure Land, is a meticulously compiled paper collage, which was chosen out of nearly 100 submitted projects by the competition’s panel of judges: artist Yayoi Kusama, Tate Modern Director Chris Dercon, South London Gallery Director Margot Heller and Tate Modern curator Frances Morris.
Kusama herself praised Yi Dai’s elegant work, saying, ‘This work looks like my work. I like it so much’. Tate Modern curator, Frances Morris also applauded 'the poetry of these beautiful collages’.
