full of colour, a playful, trippy scene by a visionary american artist, painted as a thick rug of juicy acrylic dots. Inspired by a poem by the great poet frank o’hara and given to the acclaimed british electronic composer george newson and his wife by the artist.

any more than i can explain the unseasonal warmth
of my unhabitual heart pumping vulgarly the blood
it is beacuse of you so that i can watch your smile longer”
