Sunny Side Up 2016

I’m looking at Camilla d'Errico’s painting, and I see an egg – sunny side up – with a rainbow shooting out of it like a waterslide into some psychedelic river. I imagine d’Errico starting with the background, layering those pastel waves like some kind of delicious, marbled cake. Then comes the egg, all glossy and round, begging to be touched. Look at how she renders the light, that shimmer on the yolk is just irresistible. I love the way this artist isn't afraid to be playful. There’s something so joyous about this painting. It's a celebration of color, of form, and of the sheer, unadulterated pleasure of making something beautiful and strange. It reminds me that painting, at its core, is about making connections – between colors, between textures, between ideas. It's about creating a conversation, an exchange of energy, that transcends time and space.
