Who's your favourite artist (as in painter or other media) and why?

Yikes. Good question. Let's do a pick three: Leonora Carrington, Sally Mann, Cindy Sherman. Leonora was absolutely mad, but painted beautifully. I love what Sally has done recently with the "What Remains" series. Cindy is also mad, and her work pleases me in a disturbing, visceral and often unpleasant way. I must say I prefer her early work. She really blurred the line between artist and subject, which I find intellectually appealing.

Ask me anything
