On this episode of the Friday Heaters Podcast, we sit down with painter Lauren Quin, whose abstract, sensual, otherworldly canvases have quickly made her one of the most sought-after young artists in contemporary art.

Lauren’s paintings are boldly colorful and beautiful — but they don’t let you off easy. There’s a rawness to them. A guttural physicality. She carves into paint, prints across surfaces, and pulls tube-like marks through her compositions to create a visual language that feels entirely her own.

We talk about her rapid ascent after graduate school at Yale, the surge of collector demand that followed, and what it means to navigate that level of attention as a young, attractive woman in today’s art world.
