Like writer Heather O’Neil and the band Mum, painter Tiffany Liu tackles beauty, innocence and loneliness from the frame of childhood daydreams and a sugar cereal aesthetic. If I was Kobe Bryant or former Senator Larry Craig or some other rich guy, I’d totally stock up on Liu’s originals. Raise your hand if you appreciate the word phantasmagoria. A print of the first painting below is on sale at apapertiger for $80 — a hair or two out of my price range, but perhaps Mindflowers has a rich benefactor amongst our readers?
