The work of Niki De Saint Phalle comes alive in "Loveletter," a new single by pop singer Soko inspired by the late Franco-American artist. Just as Soko's romantic lament takes form in the words of Saint Phalle, so does artist, curator and filmmaker Aaron Rose animate the artist's drawings from her 1971 artist book "My Love, Where Shall We Make Love?," which expands and enlivens the motion implicit in Saint Phalle's accordion-folding book. The constellation of characters in "My Love," including voluptuous, feminine nanas, are flattened, art brut-style illustrations of sculptural figures that Saint Phalle exhibited in museums and public parks the world over. These figures helped Saint Phalle advance her career-long inquiry into the quirks and intricacies of devotion.
