Bisco Smith is a New York-based contemporary artist with roots in music and graffiti. Bisco works in a variety of formats, including canvas and large outdoor murals, and is recognised for his lyrical approach to deconstructed expressionism characterised by gestural marks and abstracted text that embody the energy of a moment. Bisco joins Steven to discuss the ways in which he uses music as his muse, the places from which he draws inspiration, and the process he uses to change the world with his art. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your perspective on a piece of art, or an artists themselves, will always depend upon the level of education you have on that subject. When an artist retains a sense of mystery, it always adds value to their mythos. In today's world, everything is so accessible and touchable, that that sense of wonder is being lost. Being a creator is all about trusting the destination. You know you'll reach the end result, but the journey takes time and you can only see so far ahead at a time. BEST MOMENTS 'Education behind an artist is really important' 'I'm a creator, not a collector. I'm a maker, not a consumer' 'Music is a motivator' 'I trust that I'll get to point B, but I can only see so far ahead' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study Bisco Smith - https://biscosmith.com ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success.
