405 Sunset

While we were in Boston this past week­end, we stopped by our friend Lind­sey Warren’s studio at BU, where she is just com­plet­ing her MFA in paint­ing. She just sold a bunch of work at the grad­u­ate stu­dent show a few weeks back, and still has some amaz­ing stuff left. We also got to see some works in progress – includ­ing some inter­est­ing printmaking.

But, the best thing about the visit was that we pur­chased an amaz­ing paint­ing, 405 Sunset:

405 Sunset

This paint­ing was fea­tured in the Boston Globe Mag­a­zine last summer:

Lind­sey Warren uses lurid colors and a sur­pris­ing range of tex­tures to evoke a world shim­mer­ing on the edge of dis­so­lu­tion, from the woodsy, dap­pled ‘Power Outage’ to the crisp, sun-​stroked ‘405 Sunset.’

So we’re excited to get this piece to Brook­lyn, but that will take some time since it mea­sures 4′x 5′– we’ll have to get it crated and shipped.

Take a look at her work, and con­tact her if you’re inter­ested in stop­ping by her studio – she’ll be there until mid-​June.

I’m still new around these parts, but Sean and Louise made me feel at home. We’re going to miss you guys! (But, we are hiring…)
