Music on Canvas: Wangechi Mutu
My favorite female artist. Her work is so mood-altering. So thought-provoking. So compelling. Her art sings a tormented, sexual, bold, frightening, brave, twisted, lonely, angry, glamorous, beautiful song, and that is not meant as an insult. It's amazing how a piece can provoke all of these emotions at once. She is very gifted.

Music on Canvas: Jean-Michel Basquiat
A very eccentric, very complex artist of our time, Jean-Michel Basquiat incorporated urban culture and hip-hop into his paintings, and he was a true representation of what it meant for an artist to be one with his art. The artwork he created actually had musical elements. Turn the volume down on this, observe his work and listen closely... you'll hear the music.
