like a moth to a flame

Currently on exhibit at Conner Contemporary is a show titled "Conversations in Lyrical Abstraction: 1958-2009".
This show really played on my love/hate relationship with the Washington Color School with the inclusion of artists like Morris Louis and Howard Mehring. But I was surprisingly caught off guard by Leo Villareal's piece "Sky". Filled with ever-so-subtle changing hues it rests somewhere between an electric Rothko and an art-snob's lava lamp. I could sit in front of it for hours.
The show continues until October 31. Check it out.
