Pierre, McQueen, Taylor 2001

David Michael Hinnebusch made “Pierre, McQueen, Taylor” using paint, and I think you can really see the process he went through to make it. The way he layers colors and images, it's like he's building up a world right in front of us. I'm really drawn to the drips of paint all over the surface. See how they run down? Some thick, some thin, almost like tears or maybe just letting go. For me, it adds this layer of emotion. Then there's this one spot, over on the left, where he's got these scribbled lines, almost like code. It makes you wonder what he was thinking, what secrets he was trying to tell. Hinnebusch reminds me a little of Cy Twombly, in the sense that he’s embracing messiness and letting the painting be a record of the act of creation. It’s a beautiful thing. Art doesn’t have to make sense, it just has to make you feel something.
