Podcasts about Encaustic

“My creativity and life stories are expressed with coastal marine themes that capture the wild beauty of my home, Alaska. Encaustic is my material of choice – a blend of beeswax, damar crystals and pigment – often using charts, scraps of paper and found objects that are embedded in the wax medium. I draw upon first-hand experiences of fishing, its dangers and excitement." more.

In Platemark s3e41, host Ann Shafer talks with Susan Tallman, an art historian and essayist who co-founded the journal Art in Print and served as its editor for its entire run, 2011–2019. A regular contributor to New York Review of Books and The Atlantic Monthly, she has authored and co-authored many books, most recently No Plan At All: How the Danish Printshop of Niels Borch Jensen Redefined Artists Prints for the Contemporary World, as well as the new catalogue raisonné of prints by Kerry James Marshall. Ann and Susan talk about the word "original" as an unhelpful term to describe fine art prints, last summer's blockbuster Vermeer exhibition at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Gerhard Richter's 2020 exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and the state of the state of the print world. In the end you'll understand why Susan loves ambiguity in art.  William Kentridge (South African, born 1955). Triumphs and Laments: Mantegna, 2016–17.

For the month of June, Bunnell presents encaustic painter from Kodiak, Antoinette Walker. Exhibit opening will be on June 2nd from 5-7pm, with an artist talk at 6pm. The evening also opens the 6th Annual Community Supported Art (CSA) project and will introduce 2023 CSA artists after Antoinette's artist talk. “My creativity and life stories are expressed with coastal marine themes that capture the wild beauty of my home, Alaska. Encaustic is my material of choice; a blend of beeswax, damar crystals and pigment. Often using charts, scraps of paper and found objects that are embedded in the wax medium. I draw upon first-hand experiences of fishing, its dangers and excitement.” “Eroding river banks, weathered canneries, set net sites, surfaces beaten by heavy winds and torrential seas and rustic landscapes tell a compelling story. With every year there are subtle changes and inspirations for a fresh perspective. I'm drawn to these surfaces with textural layers that disclose a story. Using encaustic, painting, scraping, and scratching, I seek to reveal pieces that speak of the past and present. For me, inspiration is often a mystery. In painting, one thing inspires while another fades away. As in the landscape, changes are absorbed and reconfigured.” Bio: Antoinette Walker is an encaustic painter based in Kodiak. She is known primarily for her coastal marine subjects. Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, is a form of painting that involves a heated wax medium to which colored pigments have been added. Using encaustic and embedding papers, charts, fish tickets and found objects Antoinette creates pieces that reflect her love of Alaska. Born in 1953 and raised on Kodiak Island, she has studied and practiced art for most of her life. For the past twenty-three years her primary medium has been encaustic. Her work is recognized and collected throughout Alaska. It has been exhibited in the Anchorage Historical Museum and is held in the collections of the Pratt Museum in Homer, Alutiiq Museum in Kodiak, Baronov Museum in Kodiak, Kodiak Public Library, Providence Hospital, Kodiak, and Credit Union 1 in Kodiak. The Visual Arts Exhibition program is sponsored by North Wind Home Collection, art sales, and individual donors. Thank You!

Raised in upstate New York, artist Dale Roberts has fond childhood memories of fishing, building forts and exploring the rural area in which he lived. His early attention to the world around him has never ceased.  Dale's exquisite work with encaustic painting reflects a careful attention to detail in his everyday life, whether he is out running near his Pennsylvania home, or traveling abroad. Dale first learned about encaustic painting at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Henrietta, New York, and found that this ancient medium helped him capture a unique perspective.  He is fascinated by the weathering and corrosion of subjects, and the possibility of embodying impermanence in art.  Join our conversation with one of Portland Art Gallery's newest artists, Dale Roberts, today on Radio Maine.

Annie Darling is carrying forward her family's artistic legacy in a way that is uniquely her own. Growing up, she osmosed the ingenuity and perspectives of her creative kin, whose talents are represented in a variety of professions– from photography and interior design, to sculpting and academia. Annie deepened her learning through an educational focus on architecture, psychology and marketing. After many years in the communications field, Annie turned her attention inward, and opened a space for personal exploration. Her recent encaustics reflect both emotional vulnerability and the resilience garnered through life experience. Though she is new to the Portland Art Gallery, she is no stranger to the artistic journey. Thank you for joining our conversation with Annie Darling today on Radio Maine.

Noah Jemisin, 2022 Noah Jemisin was born in Birmingham, AL and obtained an MFA degree from University of Iowa, in 1974. His extensive travels in Africa, Europe and  Asia over the years have helped him to develop an approach to life and art that enables him to synthesize into a distinct and dynamic whole the various components of his identity and create work that strives tomake meaning of his personal history as well as the ambiguities and contradictions of contemporary culture. There is a great deal of critical experience, of knowledge and admiration of art historical precedents in his work as well as an ever sensitive deftly balanced interaction between modernism's formal concern's with a belief in the emotive potential of painting. Solo exhibitions include Just Above Midtown Gallery (JAM), Bernice Steinbaum Gallery,  22 Wooster Gallery, Myungsook Lee Gallery, Minor Injury Gallery, Broadway Windows, all in New York City, Lattuada Studio,Milan, Italy, the Hillwood Art Museum, the College of Charleston (a retrospective) and the Oswego New York Museum.

Vandaag wel een hele bijzondere podcast. Gelukkig ben ik van #primaisperfect anders had ik dit waarschijnlijk niet met je gedeeld. Ik had een prachtig gesprek met Marian van Tour, spiegelcoach en bloesemtherapeut. Helaas bleek er technisch iets mis met de opname. Tja… wat te doen? Ik moest er een nachtje over slapen en toen ontstond de oplossing. Ik heb een nieuwe podcast opgenomen, waarin ik je meer vertel over Marian, over ons gesprek, over spiegelcoaching en over de indrukwekkende sessie die ik zelf met haar heb mogen doen afgelopen week. En verder voelde het voor mij goed om het toch mogelijk te maken dat je luistert naar de oorspronkelijke opname, al is die technisch niet perfect.  Onderaan de shownotes (www.zoninjeleven.nl/episode-142) vind je veel meer informatie, waaronder: de ‘geheime' en ‘mislukte' registratie van ons gesprek. Het is technisch imperfect, maar ik kon het nog goed beluisteren, dus als je dat ook wilt, kan dat. een link waarmee je je kunt aanmelden voor de Zoom die Marian en ik zullen organiseren op woensdag 17 november om 20.00 uur. Als je er live bij bent, kun je natuurlijk je vragen stellen én je maakt kans op mooie prijzen. Kun je niet live, dan krijg je de replay toegestuurd. Maar dan moet je wel zorgen dat je je even aanmeldt, anders kan ik je niet mailen.  Over Marian en haar werk Marian van Tour is spiegelcoach en bloesemtherapeut. Oorspronkelijk werkte ze in het basisonderwijs. In 2000 adopteerde ze samen met haar inmiddels helaas overleden man Gerard hun dochter Yanneke uit China en drie jaar later kwam dochter Hailine bij hen wonen, ook uit China.  Omdat bij Yanneke een ernstige verstandelijke beperking én klassiek autisme werden vastgesteld, werd Marian het bewustwordingspad opgeduwd. Dochter Yanneke communiceert namelijk niet met taal, maar met gedrag. Dus Marian en haar man moesten manieren vinden om de aansluiting met haar te vinden. Zo kwam Marian op een goede dag in aanraking met wat inmiddels haar grote passie is, het spiegelen, een methode die je kan helpen om de taal van je ziel beter te begrijpen en verantwoordelijkheid te nemen over je eigen leven. Sinds 2008 heeft Marian haar eigen praktijk, eerst als bloesemtherapeut en later werd het spiegelen helemaal ‘haar ding'. In de loop der jaren heeft zij een hele eigen methode ontwikkeld waarin ze het spiegelen combineert met systemisch werk én de psychologie van kleuren. Tegenwoordig leidt Marian ook zélf mensen op tot spiegelcoach.  In deze aflevering hebben we het ook over Encaustic art. Een eeuwenoude schildertechniek, waar ik nog nooit van had gehoord, maar wat ik inmiddels ook heb mogen doen. Een paar weken na ons gesprek ben ik namelijk zelf afgereisd naar Papendrecht om bij Marian een spiegelsessie te doen, waarna ze me leerde hoe je met hete bijenwas en een strijkijzertje echt prachtig intuïtief kunt schilderen. En hoe mooi om van tevoren niet te hoeven weten wat je gaat maken, maar dat je de controle loslaat en heerlijk in de flow de tekeningen laat ontstaan, waarna Marian je helpt om je zojuist gemaakte werk te duiden. Zo gaaf dat je blijkbaar zonder het te weten allerlei prachtige dingen op papier zet die je meer kunnen vertellen over je gevoelens en emoties, persoonlijke processen en diepste zieleroerselen. Marians verhalen over met name de boodschappen die haar oudste dochter haar op verschillende cruciale momenten heeft gegeven, hebben diepe indruk op mij gemaakt. Het zijn stuk voor stuk bevestigingen dat we in een wereld leven waarin er zoveel meer te zien en ontdekken valt dan waar we ons van bewust zijn of wat we normaal vinden. Misschien opent deze aflevering ook bij jou weer nieuwe perspectieven. Want uiteraard kunnen we ook wat er momenteel in de wereld gebeurt gebruiken als spiegel.  Heel veel luisterplezier. 

Ever wonder what an artist's creative process is like? I am thrilled to introduce you to my friend, Sandi Wilson, who shares how her faith in the Lord has guided her artwork and how she's used it to minister to others.  Sandi for the past few years has been extensively working in Encaustic medium (beeswax, resin, and melted pigments) which creates layers of beauty to be revealed in the process and objects and images to be embedded within the abstract painting. This conversation is like our all-access VIP pass behind the scenes into a sacred space, where courage and faith and the mystery of creativity come together.   2:30- Sandi's art5:50- Sandi's story and how she got started in art9:09- A different kind of art 10:48- How Nick and Sandi met13:23- Sandy the Photographer and Sandy the Artist16:18- What inspires Sandi to create 17:27- Sandi's faith journey18:57- How God has used art to be therapeutic and to comfort  23:55- A One Hit Wonder25:37- How Sandi approaches a blank canvas

This episode Show Notes:  www.artjourneypodcast.com/ruthIn this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with encaustic and multimedia artist, Ruth Koomler. I spoke with Ruth in her spacious studio, just south of Fort Wayne, Indiana. I've known Ruth for some time, and I’ve watched her work progress over the years. She's great with people, and her love for her work, her love for her art really shows through.Something that Ruth does quite effectively in her workshops, is to help beginning artists overcome their fears and their trepidation about moving forward. She encourages them to just start working, and to not worry about how good the art is. Once people understand this, and can move forward, they become capable of some really fine work. Listen in, as Ruth imparts some great advice for all of us, whether we are just getting started on our Art Journey or are well along the road. It's good to have you here! 

Cindy Stuhr is a painter working in fluid acrylic paint, we talk about her experience as an elementary educator and what led her to picking up the brush and how she sees herself working freely with the paint now that her creative outlet of teaching is past. https://www.etsy.com/shop/cindyreearts/You can find more conversations on our website: https://lacrosselocal.comGet On Living Safely is sponsoring this podcast to remind you to keep your spending in the Community...learn more http://ow.ly/qGys50CT3TQ

"New perspectives can spring up from within the most insignificant everyday moments. A private photograph, a newspaper article or even a still frame of a movie can be the medium for another dimension. All these are raw materials for me, which I gradually release from any unnecessary feature that traps them into the optically compatible world. My aim is for my images to have a universality that goes beyond the context of a particular place, time or person." Kiki Kolympari was born 1974 in Nuremberg where she lived and worked for many years. She studied Visual Arts at the School of Fine Arts in Athens from 2012 to 2017.
During her studies she also completed the following courses:  Byzantine Iconography, Fresco painting, Encaustic, Ceramic sculpturing and Art Theory. She graduated with an MFA Honours Degree. She currently lives and works in Athens.

Art is important for more reasons than will ever be possible to count. From aiding cognitive development and critical thinking skills to beautifying the world we live in, art matters to us all. Today's guest, Mary Farmer, is an internationally-recognized encaustic painter based in Asheville, North Carolina, whose work creates a portal into a timeless, transcendent state of consciousness. Interestingly, Mary's paintings serve as a counterbalance to her firebrand spirit. Tireless in her pursuit of liberty and equity, she has put herself in harm's way time during her lifelong fight for social justice and women's rights. In this episode, we hear about Mary's life, what growing up in Alabama was like, and some of the admirable work she has done establishing abortion clinics in the South. Mary then shares details about her art practice, including insights into the encaustic technique, where wax – rather than oil or water – is used to carry pigment. We find out how she came to choose this method and the different relationship she has with her work as a result. Our conversation also touches on the business side of an art career, why artists should not shy away from this, and the power of language in reframing arguments to enable change. Be sure to tune in today!   Key Points From This Episode: How Mary and her husband dealt with the shutdown and how it affected her art practice. The strength that Mary found when she was able to vocalize her sexual assault. Why Mary is such a strong advocate for school nurses and counselors. Mary's experience of going to school in Alabama the year public schools were integrated. Why Mary had to leave Alabama as soon as she could. The contrast between Mary's firebrand spirit and her soothing, calming art. Hear about some of the work Mary has done for women's reproductive rights. Beautiful things that have happened in Mary's community before and during the pandemic. What Mary's studio practice looks like and how she structures her days and workflow. An explanation of the encaustic painting technique and how Mary discovered it. Why encaustic has taught Mary to not make assumptions and preconceived notions. The main thorn in Mary's side as an artist – Why she hates writing artist statements. How the business side of Mary's art practice has improved over the years. Mary's strategies and tips for avoiding exploitation as an artist. Why having a clear business plan as an artist is so empowering. The incredible contribution that art makes to all of our lives. What Mary has gained from Asheville, a city with such a rich culture. This scarcity mindset that is so prevalent pits us all up against one another. Language matters; it is important to reframe arguments to get things done. Moving artworks is an art form in itself, so you have to find people who know what they're doing.

Synopsis: Angela and I chatted about her art and inspirations as well as how to use your corporate background- in her case marketing- to build you art practice. We talked about ideas for emerging artists trying to break into the art world quickly...basically say "yes" and try everything. We talked about the importance of understanding your client and how to help them understand your work in their terms. About the Artist: Angela Lane is an impressionistic and abstract painter, as well as a fine crafter creating rich, colourful art in mixed media encaustic (beeswax) and reclaimed barn wood that reflect the joy, beauty and energy found in nature. Angela has a life-long love of the arts and works out of her home studio in Thornhill, Ontario. She is a multi-disciplined artist who fell in love with encaustics. “The response was almost immediate; I love the organic shapes and free flowing energy as layers, colours and movement are experienced and expressed. It's simply freeing to lose control and embrace the journey the painting takes me on. Plus, who doesn't love working with a blow torch.” To see more of Angela's work, please visit: · Instagram · Facebook · Website

Synopsis: We had an engaged conversation (sorry about the tech challenges) about how we approach our art practice and the drive to constantly improve our technical skills. Sue has a complete idea in her head before she starts creating - a very different process than how I work and so interesting. We talked about white space and calming art with a quirk of humour. And we chatted about the benefits of outsourcing parts of your business to professionals vs trying to do everything yourself. About the Artist: Suzanne ( or Sue but never Susan) translates expansive feelings into tangible form using wax and precious metals. Silver and gold fabricated frames hold miniature gouache paintings to reflect the details of our lives that we carry with us. Layers of painted and fused encaustic medium form an ethereal base in which to tether these elements. Sketches and line work connect the two and tell the story of the myriad experiences that combine to make up our unique, individual worlds. The end results are minimalist pieces that belie their complicated origins, drawing the viewer in and creating a feeling of calm wonder.

As much as I love working with acrylics in my paintings, because many of them are literally dozens of layers of pigment, collage, found objects, and thick layers of acrylic medium, it can take weeks to finish a single piece just waiting for layers to dry. A few years ago, I began looking into using encaustic, which offers the ability to create work with a similar aesthetic to my acrylic work in a fraction of the time. In doing the research, I came across the work of Lisa Pressman. Lisa is a fabulous artist from New Jersey who works in both encaustic and oils and has been exhibiting her work for nearly four decades. In addition to making her own work, she inspires others to start their own artistic journey through her workshops and one on one mentoring. Lisa and I have spoken a few times and I'm so grateful that we were finally able to hit the record button. LINKShttps://elizabethmurrayart.orghttps://rbleckner.com/http://www.gregoryamenoff.comhttps://www.terrywinters.orghttps://www.wikiart.org/en/philip-gustonhttps://www.wikiart.org/en/joan-mitchellhttp://www.bettycuninghamgallery.com/artists/estate-of-jake-berthot-1939-2014https://www.moca.org/exhibition/kerry-james-marshall-mastryhttps://www.hanshofmann.orghttp://www.aliceneel.com/ CONNECT WITH LISAWebsite: http://www.lisapressman.netInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisapressmanart/Twitter: https://twitter.com/LPressmanFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/LisaPressmanWorkshopsAndClasses/ MUSICPlease Listen Carefully (Jahzzar) / CC BY-SA 4.0

This weeks episode is an interview with local Northern beaches environmentalist artist Rachel Carroll http://rachelcarroll.com.auThe audio on this episode is a bit noisy - thanks for bearing with us whilst we navigate these Covid-19 times with houses full of kids and husbands and by the sound of it a lot of birds... Items and topics mentioned in this episode:We asked Rachel do we need to go to art college? Rachel talks about how it helped her believes it will develop us as artists. She describes how being at Art college is great with developing a body of work and a fabulous opportunity to really focus and absorb yourself in your work. Working at a high level at an art institution is about forcing you into a space with guidance from practising artists.  You also get an end of year show which can be a fantastic opportunity to get a foot hold into the industry.                                Rachel studied at https://artdesign.unsw.edu.auRachel suggests that when writing artist statements to do it in the 3rd person and write from your heart.  Write about your process and aesthetic. Rachel has a show coming up in Katoomba in July. Check out her website for details. Rachel has been drawn to Encaustic through Jenny Sages work https://kingstreetgallery.com.au/artists/jenny-sages/Rachel is teaching from her home studio and in different art centres check out her website for details.  http://rachelcarroll.com.au She suggests to check out NAVA website and newsletters https://visualarts.net.auWe ask Rachel how to keep motivated? if you can't get to the studio make sure you use a journal or a sketchbook and look at art everyday and keep connected with always putting down ideas that is what feeds Rachel's practise.

Welcome to episode 24. In this episode Jason talks with Julie Brookman. Julie works with Encaustic paints. If you don’t know, encaustic paint is wax with pigment that’s heated up then painted on a surface to form a painting. We talk about Her process with encaustic paints and her start in to it. We also talk about of her series Saudade and the story behind that. If you want to see Julis’s work and learn more about Julie, you can go to her website at juliebrookman.com. And her Instagram page is juliebrookman. Huge thank you goes out to Julie for doing the interview and A thank you to you! Until next time, enjoy!

Leah Merriman is a multi-media artist who may be the only encaustic painter in St. Louis — she paints with layers of wax. As she explains in the interview, it's a technique that dates back to antiquity (the word itself comes from the Greek enkaustikos; it was used in ancient Egypt for mummy portraits). Bauhaus artist Fritz Faiss revived encaustic painting in the 20th century, but it's still far from common. Leah often paints urban St. Louis landscapes: Art Hill, the Donut Drive-Thru on Chippewa, the riverfront, the bandstand in Tower Grove Park. In addition to encaustic, her body of work includes sculpture, prints, paintings and illustrations. She talks about apprenticing to sculptor Rudolph Torrini, staying in St. Louis, balancing art and motherhood, and how a trip to the Grand Canyon lead her to start doing encaustics.

Rebecca Crowell interviews Paula Roland about her life as an artist and entrepreneur. (From https://paularoland.com/roland-bio/) Paula Roland is a life-long artist and teacher with an MFA in painting and sculpture from the University of New Orleans. After many years teaching painting and drawing at the college level, Paula found a niche specializing in encaustic monotype printing and related encaustic topics. Since 1996, these processes and materials have informed her own works, and in turn inspired her teaching. Born on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Paula spent much of her adult life living and working in nearby New Orleans. Her works address the extremes in nature and the natural world's nexus with ecology, science, art, and spirit. Since the early 1980s her works have examined natural phenomena and human interaction. Drawn to areas with a strong sense of place that are culturally rich, diverse, and visually inspiring, Roland moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1989. “Living near Los Alamos National Labs and Chaos Theory think tanks has led to a heightened interest in science, including systems, fractals, and strange attractors. In recent works, I examine ecology through intuitive mapping, finding my way in rapidly changing environments in the natural world through my art. I choose materials for their ability to be somewhat unpredictable or have the ability to change and therefore partner with me in making the work. This process circumvents preconceived ideas and opens me to new possibilities. I engage with the image and medium in a direct and intimate way. With encaustic printing, thought and action are one, much like improvisational music or dance.” Roland's awards include commissions from the National Endowment for the Arts and for the US Department of State's American Embassies in South Africa and Uganda. She was awarded residencies at VCCA in Virginia and in France, and two at the Santa Fe Art Institute, working with Lynda Benglis and with Elizabeth Murray. Articles on Paula Roland have appeared in New American Painting, Surface Design Journal, Artist's Magazine, New Mexico Magazine, the Santa Fean Magazine and Vasari21 online art magazine. Her works are included in books and media on art, encaustic and installation.

Jessie Fritsch paints because she was raised surrounded by a creative and arty family who always supported her artistic talent. Her internal drive is to make art, teach art, and help create a strong art community. She is inspired by random moments and paint what she finds to be calming beauty in her busy life. The one common denominator in her work is vibrant and luminous color. Jessie began primarily using encaustics because she was captivated by its ancient history and was challenged by its process of heating and cooling which captures the dynamic of chaos and demands control unlike that of any other painting medium. The process of encaustic demands a confident hand as well as a hand that can allow the spontaneity of the flow of the wax. This balance of discipline and disconformities are reflected in her work as well as her life. Jessie's first year of college, Jessie came across the book about 2,000 year old funeral portraits that were painted with beeswax titled “The Mysterious Fayum Portraits: Faces from Ancient Egypt” by Euphrosyne Doxiadis. She was fascinated by this lost art and began her journey to become an encaustic artist. In 2004 Jessie received a research grant from UWSP to teach herself how to paint with molten pigmented beeswax. She graduated with a BFA in Studio Art with a painting emphasis in 2006. Jessie didn’t get in to graduate school, so she began exhibiting at art festivals. She has been a working artist for 13 years and began teaching workshops in 2018. She is council chair of the Stevens Point Festival of the Arts, part of Gallery Q, and on the steering committee for the Hidden Studio Art Tour.

Our guest host Diane Kelly of DCKellyStudio.com will help us explore Encaustic Painting and the many methods that artists use with this very flexable medium. Encaustic paint is made from beeswax, pigment, damar resin and occasionally other additions to harden or crackle the paint., like carnauba wax. Encaustic paint is used hot, and is kept so on a heated palette, and fused with heat, either in the form of a heat gun, blow torch, or by exposure to brilliant sun during a warm summer. The name encaustic comes from the Greek 'enkaustikos', meaning to burn in. All layers of wax and collage need to be fused after each application of new wax. The surface can be made rough, you may collage items into it, the paint can even be cast into sculpture. It can be made as shiny as glass, and buffed to brilliance.

"If my working definition now includes a composition of separate distinct elements which having been combined into a larger matrix, then I've given up the notion of some kind of adhesive element and permanence and stability, so I think it's whatever the artist may want to use as their defining definition..." AMY KUPFERBERG began as a metal sculptor. "While fabricating an armature for another sculpture, I became intoxicated by the beauty and grace created from arc welding. In order to fabricate the armature to an exact likeness, I bent the steel and clamped it down directly on top of a drawing of the armature and welded the steel at the cross points. When I lifted the armature up and saw the marks that were left on the paper, I knew that something important had happened." A.K.LISA SILVERA and CHERYL MOODY help Amy - as well as many other artists - find the appreciative audience of collectors and institutions that provide the "air" in which AMY can take flight. "So we do PR, branding and marketing for the contemporary artists whose work we're passionate about." DINORAH DE JESUS RAMIREZ creates animation the old fashioned way: marking on film, frame by frame. "When you hold a film in your hand it has a head and a tail. I can look at this (strip of film) and see movement in the same way that a composer can look at a sheet of music and hear notes - a symphony. ." D.R.After 30 years behind the camera and cultivating his market, PAUL MORRIS has the commercial side down: the corporate portrait, the romantic backlit smoke coming off a cigar, the money shot of golden light on a downtown high-rise, but his heart is in the landscape aesthetic of his early 20th-century heroes, captured on film - not digitally. Stone sentinels in a remote Scottish meadow. He'll talk about it all.
