Visitors are reacting strongly to the painting. Some with laughter. Some with disgust.

Cronin talks about the painting, the reactions and more. 

This is Cronin's fourth year competing at ArtPrize. It's her third consecutive year at DeVos Place. In 2011, she had a painting at Grand Rapids Public Museum.

Cronin talks about the entries from all four years.

This year's entry comes from a group of work which focuses on everyday life situations with a bit of creepiness mixed in, like the "insect-like hairy monster" seen in the painting.

Cronin calls the painting lighthearted and a bit creepy, "a mixture of beauty and something that might be a little bit revolting".
