PAST ARTIST TALKS
“To make black and white sing is difficult. ‘Monkey-like shiny’-- we like colorful, shiny, flashy things, and with black and white you really have to be exceptional at mark making. The balance? And what makes something sing? To do that with black and white has been a sort of formal practice.”
— Liz Liguori, 4.3.25

Photo by Laurie Rhodes“My love letter to the world is through color; it's complicated, and also not... I love the body to have every color. So like the Davids, Rainbow Pinwheel, Suck FDAU, it's everybody, everything, all at once, like, all in the body, so that it's not one thing. Because I also believe that we're so much, each and every one of us, that we couldn't possibly be one color.”

Photo by Itziar Barrio“Painting took me to a journey. And I have to be honest, I tap into painting, like, people take mushrooms, I mean, to that level of like, jumping into something that I'm open and I'm like, give it to me. Bring it on. I'm open to it. As more I'm open, the painting tells me more, gives me more information. And as I get older, I'm more open, because I'm not trying to force painting to be something. I'm not trying to say something, I'm trying to hear something. So, it's all like, really growing on me. It's growing on me all the time, and I'm probably going to be like Louise Bourgeois painting in the age of 103 and screaming at everybody, but it's fine. I'm okay with that. I hope so. ”
