Fine Art on Aisle 3

Can a few giant rectangles of colour change the way you see the world? Charlie certainly thinks so. This week, she explains why standing in front of a Mark Rothko painting is so much more than just looking at a canvas, and why his work has left such a lasting impression on her. Meanwhile, Josh argues that the local supermarket might be just as important a part of your life. It’s where you know the shortcuts, recognise the regulars, avoid that one painfully slow checkout, and celebrate finding a yellow sticker bargain before anyone else. Can Charlie convince Josh that true beauty belongs in an art gallery, or is the finest masterpiece still the perfectly organised supermarket aisle?
