Where brushstrokes meet algorithms.
A working palette
Van Gogh painted his little room at Arles three times, flattening perspective and letting colour do the feeling, the walls press in, the chairs wait, and rest is willed rather than found. He called it, simply, a picture of repose.
A new work every day, drawn from the open collections of the world's museums.
Nine museums, and the one thing in each I still see when I close my eyes.
Chicago · 2025
Stood a long while in front of A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, Seurat built from a million dots, and it only resolves when you step back.
Los Angeles · 2024
Meier's white architecture, and van Gogh's Irises in the hilltop gardens.
New York · 2025
The Temple of Dendur, an entire Egyptian temple reassembled under a glass atrium.
Los Angeles · 2024
A minute alone inside Kusama's Infinity Mirrored Room, endless, and over too soon.
Los Angeles · 2024
Chris Burden's Urban Light, 202 cast-iron street lamps, a forest of them.
Boston · 2025
One of the finest rooms of Impressionist painting anywhere.
San Diego · 2024
Spanish colonial walls holding European old masters.
Los Angeles (UCLA) · 2024
Cutting-edge contemporary art, and free to walk in any afternoon.
Cairo · 2019
The Royal Mummies Hall, pharaohs across millennia, face to face.
The movements that shaped how I see.
Beyond impression, bold colour, geometric form, emotional depth. Van Gogh, Cézanne, Gauguin.
Mass culture as fine art, ironic, defiant. The crown on the street. Basquiat, Warhol, Lichtenstein.
Dreamscapes and the subconscious made visual. Dalí, Magritte, Ernst.
Intimate beauty in flowers and light, nature as an emotional mirror. Fantin-Latour, Manet, Chardin.
Raw emotion and gesture, art as action. Pollock, Rothko, de Kooning.
Dismantling form to find beauty in imperfection. Yamamoto, Kawakubo, Hadid.
Six who shaped how I see, and where the work is out of copyright, the piece I'd hang first.
“The raw emotional intensity. Every brushstroke vibrates with feeling, Starry Night isn’t just a painting, it’s a window into a turbulent mind finding beauty in chaos.”
Shown · Self-Portrait, 1887 · Art Institute of Chicago
“The ultimate fusion of art and science. Every sketch was an experiment, every painting a thesis, proof that curiosity is the highest form of genius.”
Shown · Mona Lisa, c. 1503 · Louvre (via Wikimedia)
“The raw power of crowns, skulls, and scrawled words. He turned street energy into gallery revolution, art that screams with intelligence and fury.”
“The radical idea that art is everywhere, in a soup can, a celebrity face, a silkscreen print. He democratized beauty and made repetition profound.”
“The quiet mastery of his roses, each petal rendered with a tenderness that makes you hold your breath. Proof that stillness can be the most powerful statement.”
Shown · Roses in a Bowl, 1881 · Art Institute of Chicago
“The artist who shattered perspective and rebuilt it. From Blue Period melancholy to Cubist revolution, he reinvented art more times than anyone in history.”
Shown · The Saltimbanques, 1905 · Cleveland Museum of Art
“The mind over the hand. He set a urinal on a plinth and asked what art even is, and the question never closed. Everything conceptual still traces back to him.”
A hanging wall of the works I return to, pulled live from open museum archives.
