Senyol


Be sure to click on the image below to see the whole painting
This is a painting by the uber talented South African artist Senyol.  I think he is one of the most modern artists around. I am not usually a big fan of text with visual art. I kinda think either something is perceptual or conceptual but he is the exception. His writing is so minimal and crisp it borders on the banal just the way I like it.  I mean "puffed up qualifier clouds" .

QUALIFIER

a word that qualifies the meaning of another, as an adjective or adverb; modifier.
b.
an adverb that modifies adjectives or other adverbs and typically expresses degree or intensity, as very, somewhat,  or quite.

I also am lucky enough to have this one - "Happy Holidays". "Look no Further" and "Module" float near a simple line drawing of a house. It really reminds me of my favorite song "Home" by the talking heads - the two together are super simple happy
