But, in welcome contrast to most contemporary art, his paintings are unpretentious and done with obvious enjoyment...

Judging by the plants' responses to different colors, the experimenters decided that plants must contain invisible amounts of a blue pigment which acts as a sort of alarm clock. The scientists do not know exactly what the powerful pigment is, but when it gets the right amount of illumination, it tells the plant to wake up and start the business of flowering...
...firms, Janine explained, "concentrate on color alone. But a painting has texture as well. To simulate that we use dozens of materials: cardboard, paper, stencils, canvas, silk screens . . .
