Martin Wittfooth was born in Toronto, Canada in 1981 and works in two studios in Kingston, New York, and Savannah, Georgia. He earned his MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 2008. Wittfooth's work has been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, including the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, Akron Art Museum in Ohio, and La Halle Saint-Pierre in Paris, with solo exhibitions in New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Copenhagen. His paintings have also appeared in numerous publications, including Juxtapoz, The New York Times Art Review, and Vice, and cover features in New American Paintings, Hi-Fructose, Chronogram, and American Artist Magazine. Wittfooth's paintings, drawings, installations, and sculptural works investigate themes of the intersection and clash of industry and nature, and the human influence on the environment. Many of his works explore the theme of shamanism - rituals and practices as old as our species - through which we have attempted to dialogue with nature: the nature outside of ourselves and the nature within. His creative language uses the combination of allegory and symbolism to convey visual narratives. Martin Wittfooth is represented by Gallery Poulsen in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Controversial art is often provocative. The artist wants to make you feel something on a visceral level or they want to challenge the way you think. If you haven’t ever thought of art as a medium to send a message, then this episode for you! I had the wonderful privilege to sit down with a provocative and sometimes controversial artist, Hannah Yata. In this episode we discuss her journey of becoming an artist, finding her voice, and challenging the culture. Hannah has some powerful messages to convey through her work. She has evoked strong responses from audiences of all types. You won’t want to miss hearing from this talented artist! Getting Started as an Artist Plotting your way down a career path can be very difficult. Some professions have a very clear cut route, and others don’t. Hannah Yata found herself struggling through the process of getting started as an artist. As she was finishing up her time in art school, she wondered what the next step would be. An offhand comment from one of her teachers sent Hannah in the right direction toward her goal of becoming an artist. An email sent things into motion and Hannah was given a great opportunity to spend the summer working with artists Martin Wittfooth and Adam Miller. That summer was valuable and formative for Hanna. Her time there allowed Hannah to gather insight and skills she needed for the next phase of her development as an artist. To hear more about Hanna’s journey listen to this episode of Savvy Painter! Sending a Message with Controversial Art “There are only two things that pierce the human heart. One is beauty. The other is affliction.” ~ Simone Weil The idea of beauty or affliction is front and center with most controversial art. The artist is trying to evoke something within the viewer. They want their art to resonate deep within. On this episode of Savvy Painter, I get to sit down with artist Hannah Yata. Listen as we discuss one of her most recent pieces of provocative art. Hannah describes the message she wants to convey through the piece and her motivation behind it. Don’t miss this fascinating story from Hana! Living in a Productivity Obsessed Culture An ancient proverb asks, “What good does it profit someone to gain the whole world yet forfeit their soul?” As a society, we can become blind to the damage that seemingly “good” things can cause. We live in a productivity obsessed culture. On the surface, productivity is good. However, when set on a pedestal it can cause men and women to sacrifice their well-being on its altar. On this episode of Savvy Painter, Hannah Yata and I discuss how productivity can become detrimental. We discuss the necessity of “turning off” and finding ways to refresh and remind ourselves that we are more than what we produce! Keys to Success Have you ever wondered what makes certain artists successful? On this episode of Savvy Painter, I sit down with Hannah Yata to find out the keys to her success. Hannah emphasizes two habits that have enabled her to thrive. One of the habits that helped her was establishing a routine. This is a common theme with many artists. Her other key to success is maintaining an appetite for reading. Hannah is convinced that a mind engaged with ideas and stories will produce thoughtful and engaging art.

Martin Wittfooth is an illustrator and fine artist living in New York City.  His surreal oil paintings are much more than simply depictions of animals – they are emotional self-portraits that demand to be seen as a timestamp of our place here on Earth – where we have come from and more importantly where we are going. Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/151 In this episode, Martin discusses: -The importance of remembering why you started doing this creative endeavor in the first place. -How some artists and musicians have the curse of becoming too successful and then losing the initial passion that made them so good in the first place. -His love for the surprises, or “Easter eggs” that come from his art. -His next show, based off of Terrence McKenna and The Archaic Revival. -How podcasts like The Joe Rogan Experience and The Duncan Trussel Family Hour are evidence of a shift in the power of expression and information. -More details about his upcoming show in October 2016. -How mistakes can often end up not being mistakes at all. -Trying new things just to see if you can get happy, unexpected results. -Dismissing the inner critic while at the same time being able to absorb valuable criticisms from trusted peers. Martin's Final Push will inspire you to enjoy the process, rather than the end result.   Quotes: “If there is to be an audience member that you are creating for, let it just be yourself.” “It’s not the outcome of what happens when the piece is done, it’s the process of making it itself that matters.” Links mentioned: The Archaic Revival by Terence McKenna The Duncan Trussell Family Hour Podcast -- Episode 137 with Martin Wittfooth Connect with Martin: Website / Facebook / Instagram

Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/150 In this episode, Martin discusses: -What he attempts to accomplish with his paintings. -How his style has developed over time and the experience of looking back at his old work. -One of his earliest creative memories when he realized that his art could cause a reaction in people. -How he sees his paintings as “emotional self-portraits.” -His fascination with the way that the human species communicates with one another on many different levels. -How young adults have to make decisions on what they want to do for the rest of their lives at too early of an age. -The difficulty of trying to find a marriage between painting and the business of painting. -How we live in a time where the knowledge and advice is out there on the internet… we just need to know where to look and how to ask for it. -The importance of enjoying the act of your creative endeavor rather than the results of it.   Quotes: “Through drawing, all the sudden people took interest in what I was doing.” “I’m trying to get myself somehow trapped on the canvas but in a way that isn’t the predictable image of me.” “If it stops feeling like play, then it’s probably not worth doing.”  Links mentioned: The Archaic Revival by Terence McKenna The Duncan Trussell Family Hour Podcast -- Episode 137 with Martin Wittfooth Connect with Martin: Website / Facebook / Instagram
