Homage to Kubrick
Today’s vision of surpassing beauty is a painting by Geraldine Javier, one of the stars of contemporary Asian art.
“Red is the Color of Life, and So is Black” is based on that scene in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. For a week after I saw The Shining I had a fear of long hallways.
Geraldine’s painting won’t be exhibited in Manila—it’s going straight to Seoul. The artist has given us her permission to post this photo. Good luck lining up for an actual Geraldine Javier painting, I hear it takes years.

Beautiful. I remember looking at her Living Images, Leaden Lives collection back in 2008, it was haunting.
