I like - no adore the colour mauve - in combination with silver it suggests dreams, the light of dusk, nights under a full moon, melancholia, tranquillity and so on. It is the perfect colour, not as cool as blue but not overly hot either. And what's not to like about an aesthetic sensibility that combines a delicate decay with the brooding mood of Southern Gothic? I was particularly drawn to this because it looks like it is dyed in various concentrations of the Violet Chelpark Ink that was once a proud possession.
I also love the tropics and in celebration, a work that combines its two elements - weathering and vivid colour.
Both works are by an artist from New Orleans.
