i love minimalism in art, in music, in architecture, in fashion, even in food. the simplicity and abstract balance are so pleasing to me. that is one of the reasons i adore the sh*t out of the paintings of artist jake longstreth. the added bonus of of his work is that it is also a snapshot of a certain time and place... the kind of thing that you can look back on and know around what year it was painted and it's a silent commentary on our culture; the more dated it becomes the more endearing it is. i'm in love... and have been for a long time. his work inspires me. i encourage you to check out his website. love.
as in my last post i am putting a video below as a sort of "soundtrack" for the painting (which i based on the words less than the music). i chose this version because i felt like it was visually more fitting than the original. enjoy.
