Sylvia Snowden has a curiosity about the human condition that begets active, engrossing paintings. Her canvases hover delicately between figuration and abstraction, evoking abundant movement and energy. Standing before the artworks feels electric - like something in you is being activated, previously suppressed emotions riled to attention. Snowden and I met in November, after her solo exhibition opened at White Cube New York.
The kitchen, perhaps more than anywhere else in your house, should feel like an inviting and welcoming place to be. While a minimalist kitchen has its appeals, these days many of us are looking for design solutions that are a little more personal, and even eclectic, as we seek to evoke a sense of coziness and charm. The kitchen is a place for connection; it's where we get creative with our meals, and families and friends congregate.
