Scott Robinson interviews painter Ryan Nord Kitchen.

Kitchen remarks: "Paintings are these things that are consciously presented to a viewer. When you stand in front of a show, I think an indicator of its success is a compelling desire to contemplate why the artist decided to show you this particular group of objects. Painting has this great quiet way of sharing ideas. Looking at an interesting painting is an opportunity to recognize one’s reality in contrast with another’s."
