Stoked On: Marilyn Minter

By nikolas

As an artist, I make it a point to view a lot of other people’s art. But, only occasionally do I come across work that actually excites me and gets my mind racing in all sorts of inspired directions.

This short video, “Green Pink Caviar”, from artist, Marilyn Minter, had that effect on me.

Bold, colorful, sexy and succinct with a nice ambient soundtrack. Beats the heck out of the glut of garbage I’m subjected to on YouTube.

Marilyn’s luscious photography tickles the pleasure center of the brain.

While there is tons of amazing art in the world, I’m mostly drawn to the work that answers these two questions:

1) Do I wish I created it?
2) Do I wish it was on my walls at home?

I answer a resounding, “YES!” when I see the work of Marilyn Minter. Color me inspired.
