You step into a compact studio just off a busy New York street; the city’s subway rumbles like a distant percussion and the scent of solvent and acrylic hangs in the air. A row of canvases waits under clamps, paint-filled balloons bob like bright orbs, and a centrifuge hums—ready to fling color into motion. The experience is loud, physical and oddly meticulous: aim, fire, spin, then watch the abstract composition bleed into life.
