intro

just thought i'd start this up for some extra fun.

MARILYN MINTER has been my latest obsession

she's a photographer and photo-realist painter

she does all her paintings with enamel paint on metal

these first three are paintings and the last one is a photo-billboard she had up in Chelsea for a while, wish i could've seen it.

speaking of Chelsea, when Libby and I were there during fall break, we found a beautiful park right on chelsea piers and sat down on a bench and smoked a spliff then headed off gallery hopping. Libby's friend told us there was an amazing show at Gagosian but gave no explaination of what it was, just that we had to go. So we go, and our minds are BLOWN. There was a show of Cecily Brown's paintings, and they were all life-changing. I'll tell you right now, online images of her work do no justice whatsoever to how incredible these are in person, but just so you get the jist...

here's a link to the rest of the show and installation views
