"Sexual Spring-like Winter" is a large painterly work, created with layers of pink and resin by the art and film world's favorite enfant terrible, Julian Schnabel. The artist and director recounted that he was inspired to create the "Sexual Spring-like Winter" series after trekking home in the snow to be greeted by his wife at the time, who was wearing a beautiful bright pink blouse.

Schnabel recently released a new film "Miral." His last film, was honoured for his direction of "Le Scaphandre et le Papillion" ("The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"). Upon receiving an award, Schnabel, said, "Painting can be compared to life, but is about optimism and faith. Artistic expression is the embodiment of hope."
