Tell me about a work of art you could think about forever.

I know this woman is controversial. I also know that my brain chemistry was altered when I saw the Tate Modern show highlighting her work in 2023. There is something very magical about being surrounded by her large scale, soothing paintings… To the point that I seriously thought about getting to Paris before her Grand Palais show closes (on 8/30).

I know that feeling from a great retrospective! I had the same experience with an Elaine de Kooning show.

“Described as an artist AND mystic? Say less. The intersection of abstract art and spiritual themes are endlessly interesting to me. Her color theory never feels juvenile and somehow equal parts melancholy and joyful.”
