"When colours are surrounded by black they glow out of the dark and that gives the colours a special importance. If you put colours on white, in a white frame or in white surroundings, then they appear muddy. White dulls the colours."
Friedensreich Hundertwasser

Ahhh yes, this explains my love of the blackcore black mat/mount board.

I visited the town I grew up in and got to visit the Hundertwasser gallery at long last.
Wow 👌 Whangarei should be proud of this fabulous creative space.

Wow what a difference a new frame makes!

This gorgeous painting is by Cora Wilding: progressive painter and an absolute saint who founded YHA NZ. She is also sister to a Wimbledon tennis legend.

I love what you can discover when researching the signatures on artworks.

I dont like discovering bugs though 😱🥴😁
