I love humble artists who overflow with original talent. That's Dana. She has a great way of speaking and explaining the general direction of her work while still leaving things open to the viewer's interpretation. Some of her pieces seem so complex but she tries to whittle the story down into a couple of sentences to almost help you out if you can't find meaning on your own. And she speaks of her work in in the most pleasant and modest way. I doubt she knows just how great she is.

I love her passion about art - and her practice of being totally in the painting process. Color is a strong material and it can change the whole Space and truly it can change the Human Consciousness 🎵🎶🎨 and I totally agree that the colorfull expressionistic style is a strong way of communicating - and not only about the feelings of the artist but more about the atmosphere of a Space and an event. And in this way each painting is a unique expression.

Hesitant to use expressionistic 8:00 ... to hear a rockstar painter such as Dana Shutz say that she doesn't know how to describe her art is exactly what I needed to hear right now!
I paint strange colourful expressionistic faces and when people ask what I paint, it's hard to explain without, like she said, sounding like a crazy person. I'm just starting to apply to small shows and I'm so perplexed how to fit what I need to say to describe my art in 200- 500 characters.
What you would say in a taxi cab is a great analogy, a 30 second commercial I've heard people also say. I thought about maybe just writing the word crazy in capital letters and underlined 3 times, it might be the only desription fitting enough.
This was a great interview! Her studio is so amazing! I am left with one question: How do you tell what colour is in all those dirty paint tubes? 😘

Her work gives me Frances Bacon vibes. Some of it looks similar on the surface but mainly it’s the feeling of them. They almost feel uncomfortable to look at but also make you curious to know more. She seems to have a story or a life for each one and it’s not always obvious. I like that. I like looking at artwork that seems to make no sense or not have an obvious story, it makes for interesting subjects, of a discussion for the ages. Sometimes we don’t need the reasoning or the background from the artist, we want to make up our own reasons and stories and argue our points, for years to come, on what the art is about. How wonderfully juicy that is for us, the viewer, the observer.

Watch our other video with Dana Schutz, in which she asks "how do you begin to depict a feeling?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAQZNWvgjNU
