holy sh*t

what. WHAT

Kapoor: *Being a jerk and not sharing*

Semple: “So I just got a degree in nanotechnology specifically for this and anyway everyone have some paint”

Semple: a God amongst Men

Ok NOW things are getting interesting.

I am guessing Semple has created a new black PIGMENT that is close to the effect of super black. Vantablack is not pigment, and cannot be used in paint. This actually changes the game.

Kapoor may have the rights to the real blackest black, but Semple may have made a super black artists can actually use.

i can’t believe a meme is going down in art history
