James Turrell’s Gasworks. Explanation in alt text

Gasworks is a self-contained sphere into which the viewer is rolled, much like an MRI. As the viewer lies on their back, neon lights are timed to flash on the domed white wall periodically, causing an intense Gazfield, or total field, an experience of light as a homogenous visual field in which light has a palpable presence. Gasworks is part of a series called "Perceptual Cells," works that reflect Turrell's background in perceptual psychology. Inside Gasworks, the viewer experiences a lack of depth perception, and often cannot discern what is seen on the walls of the sphere, and what is actually seen in the mind's eye.

Now I associate the book with the art it inspired, produced by Tim Rollins and KOS.

Amerika VIII 1986-87
Watercolor, charcoal, and pencil on bookpages on linen
A massive canvas with pages from Kafka’s Amerika pasted on to it over which have been drawn fantastical, intertwined shapes inspired by brass instruments

Post one photo of a painting that you took with your very own hands.

‘A Bar at the Folies-Bergère’ by Édouard Manet. It depicts a scene in the Folies Bergère nightclub in Paris with a barmaid stood at a marble counter on which are placed bottles of alcoholic drinks and a glass bowl of mandarins. Behind her can be seen patrons sat on a balcony as well as chandeliers and a male customer talking to a barmaid, all of which may be a reflection in a large mirror

I’ve lived in a few places for work after growing up in West Sussex. We used to travel to places by caravan as a family so stayed in a lot of England, Wales and parts of Scotland.

This is the one that I still treasure

Second shows group of mums at school gate one of whom has a grotesque face identical to the child’s portrait

I always find this 1936 portrait of Derain by Balthus very disturbing

A corpulent, balding man wearing a yellow dressing gown stands glowering towards us. Behind him several canvases are stacked against a wall and a very young woman sits wearing a short skirt and a white bra. Her eyes are downcast
