This is a new and brilliant painter to me..I could look over and over again! What an amazing diversity of ideas!

Love The Chessboard - how the board becomes a kind of mind-space in which the figures carry out mental moves. A few of the warped grids remind me of the contemporary painter Julie Mehretu.
