His work is damn sublime. It makes me feel guilty. His work is a gate towards the other space, to the absolute.
Marlene Dumas
I just saw her work at moma special exhibition of her "Measuring your own grief". Her paintings are like the last breath coming out from the flame
James turrell
James turrell works with light, and it opens up a new space and time to the visitor, and of course filled with his idea of light.
His work lets the visitors to take time to enjoy and rest. People stare and stay at his work longer than other works.
You can see his work in Moma PS1 after 4 o'clock when the sun light gets ready to dim.
His work indeed made me realize the light itself as a natural element of visual art.

"Colour is the key. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano with its many chords. The artist is the hand that, by touching this or that key, sets the soul vibrating automatically."
"The true work of art is born from the 'artist': a mysterious, enigmatic, and mystical creation. It detaches itself from him, it acquires an autonomous life, becomes a personality, an independent subject, animated with a spiritual breath, the living subject of a real existence of being."
"When [blue] sinks almost to black, it echoes a grief that is hardly human. When it rises towards white ... its appeal to men grows weaker and more distant." -- Kandinsky in his Concerning the Spiritual in Art from 1911.
