I have a special episode for you today with visual artist Shuling Guo. In this episode we hear about her incredible story going from a very traditional, small village in Southern China, and her triumph against a very dominant patriarchal culture structure, to go to art school in Beijing, and ultimately to the United States to pursue her artistic path.  We learned about her spiritual influences from the women in her life and how that set the stage for her artistic journey.  -----------------------------------------Guo graduated from the Oil Painting Department of China Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing (B.F.A.) in 2010. She moved to the United States in 2019, and currently lives between Philadelphia and aboard the Sailing Vessel Selkie. In 2012, she had her first solo exhibition in Beyond Art Space in Beijing. Since then, her work has been exhibited in New York, Beijing, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Platform Art.Her works have been included in the permanent collections of Central Academy of Fine Arts Art Museum (Beijing) and Art Museum of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts (Guangzhou).

Ep.232 Will Maxen (b. Waterbury, CT) is a multi-disciplinary artist living in Houston, Texas, who works primarily in the language of painting. His work blends personal and historical imagery into partially abstracted scenes that explore themes of memory and belonging, navigating both literal and metaphorical spaces. The work delves into the dislocation of identity within these spaces, representing existence as something that teeters on the edge of legibility. This juxtaposition breaks the boundaries between the tangible and the intangible while the painted figures evoke vulnerability, adding a human element to the dialogue. Maxen received his BA in Illustration from Central Connecticut State University, and an MFA in Art Studio at the University of California, Davis. He has had solo exhibitions at Residency Art Gallery, Los Angeles (Felix Art Fair); and UTA Art Space, New York. His work has been featured in group shows at Fridman Gallery, New York; Canepa Selling Gallery, Los Angeles, Marrow Gallery, San Francisco; Chili Art Projects, London. Maxens work is included in the permanent collections of the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art, Davis, CA; The Art Galleries at Black Studies, Austin, TX; and the Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection. Maxen has been a resident at Silver Art Projects, New York; a recipient of The New Jewish Culture Fellowship; and an Assistant Professor of Painting and Drawing at Louisiana State University.

"I am influenced by many things—1980's guitars, VHS tapes, World War I battleships, sunrise/sunset gradients, moiré patterns, and more. Over the past 3 years, ‘notions of cycle' have played an increased role in the development of my paintings; and I'm curious how the avant-garde succeeds and fails within popular culture. Currently, I'm interested in how the landscape has been depicted throughout American culture. Whether it's Thomas Cole and Albert Bierstadt of the Hudson River School, Georgia O'Keeffe's monumental work at the Art Institute of Chicago, or an Instagram post of a sunset—each conveys a romanticized view of our world. The most recent paintings are an amalgamation of experiences that I've had within the American landscape; with each painting flowing freely between representation and abstraction."

She participated in the intensive program at Mount Gretna School of Art in 2016 and was also selected as a Four Pillars Artist in 2019.

In 2019 Devin was featured in New American Paintings, #141 MFA Annual. She currently works as an associate faculty member at Post University in Waterbury, CT. She lives in Fredericksburg, Virginia, with her husband and son. "My still life paintings incorporate both recorded observation and invention. The arrangements consist of objects that carry personal meaning: ceramic pieces made by my great grandmother, trinkets that belonged to my grandmother, and books of women artists I feel a connection with. I often add a self-portrait in the work, placing myself within the same space of the women I reference. I am interested in lineage (both biological and artistic), the connection between women, and the objects we keep to remember the women who came before us. While I do think of the work as possessing a narrative, I also see it as an attempt to chronicle what is lost, a mapping process, a charting of both spatial proximity and what can never truly be known."   LINKS:  www.Devinmhowell.com   www.guavajellystudio.com   https://glavekocenconsulting.com   @devinmhowell @guavajellystudio       Artist Shoutouts: Mel Arzamarski https://www.arzamarski.com Jini Kim Veneer @Jinikimveenker Mark Lewis http://www.marklewispaintingstudio.com Sarah D'Ambrosio https://www.sarahdambrosio.com     I Like Your Work Links: Check out our sponsor for this episode the Sunlight Podcast at https://www.sunlighttax.com/podcast   Use code ILIKEYOURWORK for 10% off your I Like Your Work Candle at Guava Jelly Studios Apply to our Winter  Exhibition Catalog: https://www.ilikeyourworkpodcast.com/submitwork   Join the Works Membership ! https://theworksmembership.com/   Watch our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ilikeyourworkpodcast   Submit Your Work Check out our Catalogs!

Jordan Buschur is an artist, educator, and curator based in Toledo, Ohio. Her paintings focus on collections of objects ranging from stacked books to interiors of drawers, all united by a system of value based on mystery, sentimentality, and a matriarchal connection. Buschur received an M.F.A. in Painting from Brooklyn College, the City University of New York. Her work has been shown in numerous locations, including exhibitions with the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts (Grand Rapids, MI), Center for Book Arts (NYC), and Field Projects (NYC). She participated in residencies at the Wassaic Project, Chashama North, the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts, and the Vermont Studio Center. Awards include the Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award and the Kimmel Foundation Artist Award. Her work has been featured in print in New American Paintings and UPPERCASE Magazine, and online with The Jealous Curator, Young Space, and BOOOOOOOM, among many others. She is a co-founder of Co-Worker Gallery and has curated exhibitions at Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space (NYC), Spring/Break Art Show (NYC), and the Neon Heater (Findlay, Ohio). Buschur was the Director of the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln and currently teaches drawing at the University of Toledo. "My paintings imply a human presence through depictions of accumulated collections. Contents of desk drawers, stacks of books, packed boxes, and objects on display, are united by systems of value shaped by mystery, sentimentality, and the matriarchal connection. Each painting focuses on the oscillation between personal resonance and public view, reality and invention, fixed meaning and open interpretation. I'm interested in the assignment of non-monetary significance onto objects as an inherently interior and idiosyncratic act. In this way, the paintings are portraits as I meditate on the details (both mundane and magical) of the accumulated stuff of friends and family (and my own things too). Simultaneously, the collections point towards the material weight of modern life, the anxiety of consumption, and the endgame of anonymous personal effects. Looking through the lens of inheritance, accumulations of sentimental objects can link to ancestors, while also becoming a burden of junk. A well loved thing, so deeply felt by one, shapeshifts in meaning when passed to a new owner and generation."   LINKS:  www.jordanbuschur.com   @jordanbuschur   Artist Shoutouts: Crystal Phelps Natalie Lanese Lindsay Akens Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez Charley Friedman Angeles Cossio Dana Fritz Margaret Bohls Jac Lahav Maia Cruz Palileo     I Like Your Work Links: Apply to our Winter  Exhibition Catalog: https://www.ilikeyourworkpodcast.com/submitwork   Join the Works Membership ! https://theworksmembership.com/   Watch our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ilikeyourworkpodcast   Submit Your Work Check out our Catalogs!

Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for Artists Today on the podcast I speak with Jaqueline Cedar. Brooklyn-based artist, and founder of the Good Naked Gallery. On this episode we discuss permanence and impermanence, romance and practicality, drawing out ideas versus immediacy, productivity, the 'more is more' practice and editing after the fact, the function of inspiration, 'nope' days, pleasure in the practice, how a painting develops, photography, painting from imagination,  grad school, teaching, multitasking, balance and 'checking-out',  goals, expectations and success, and the origins of the Good Naked Gallery. About:Jaqueline Cedar was born in Los Angeles, CA and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. In 2009 she received an MFA in Visual Arts from Columbia University. Recent exhibitions include Long Story Short, New York (2023), Shelter Gallery, New York (2022), Shin Haus, New York (2022), Smoke the Moon, Santa Fe (2022), Ladies' Room, Los Angeles (2021), 11 Newel, Brooklyn (2021), Peripheral Space, Los Angeles (2021), Hesse Flatow, New York (2020), Drawer NYC (2020), Field Projects, New York (2020), Underdonk, Brooklyn (2018), and David Risley Gallery Velvet Ropes, Copenhagen (2018). Press includes Artnet, Hyperallergic, Huffington Post, Two Coats of Paint, New American Paintings, Gorky's Granddaughter, Painters' Table, and The Boston Globe. Cedar's paintings and drawings address uncanny scenarios where characters engage themselves and one another with sincerity and purpose.

Projects hover around the intimate and awkward with a focus on work that engages tactility, humor, movement, and play. If you're enjoying the podcast so far, please rate, review, subscribe and SHARE ON INSTAGRAM!       If you have a question YOU want answered, or suggestions for future guests, please write in to artmatterspodcast@gmail.com - About the Podcast -        host: Isaac Mann www.isaacmann.cominsta: @isaac.mann guest: Jaqueline Cedarwww.jaquelinecedar.com/ insta: @jaquelinecedar

Join Tamara for an interview with Angela Burson, who works in a variety of media to depict images of (frequently cropped or headless) figures, their belongings, and interior spaces, which indicate complex psychological and social relationships with one another. Her sharply painted work includes detailed classic clothing and accessories, and is frequently compared to the aesthetic of Wes Anderson movies. Angela first moved to Savannah from Liberty, Missouri in the late 1980s, to get her B.F.A. in Painting from SCAD. After a few years away, she returned in 2004 and has lived and exhibited here ever since.    Her 2020 feature in New American Paintings has led to a rush of national and international opportunities over the past year, including shows and art fairs in NYC and Madrid, and she's currently preparing for a solo show in L.A. in December 2023.  http://www.angelaburson.com/ https://www.instagram.com/angelaburson/  Topics in their chat include: Angela's early years in the late 1980s living near Colonial Park Cemetery, and then on Jones St for $250 a month (!); how her first solo show of cowboy- and gun-themed artwork inadvertently boosted local gun sales; how her painting entitled "Danny Hansford's socks" led to her long running fascination with observing and painting peoples' socks; which rock star's hand is her frequent reference for depicting cigarette smoking; her History of Menswear reference book; which one specific outfit from a Wes Anderson movie she has included in a painting; and her advice to keep applying to New American Paintings no matter how many rejections you get.    Tune in and get all the details!

Sarah Fairchild is a mixed media artist concerned about our environment, creating and representing natural forms through a synthetic lens. Her work depicts the common and often ignored forms of weeds and wild flowers; recently, pollinators and other beneficial insects have crept into her work, creating a two-dimensional insectarium that depicts the interconnection of species, the fragility of our ecosystems, as well as a reverence for nature and all its inhabitants. She hopes considering these commonplace forms in a new and unusual way will arouse a sense of wonder, appreciation and concern for the environment, as well as the urgent need for a sustainable living planet. Recent commissions include Bloom, a temporary three dimensional abstract bouquet installed inside the lobby of One Liberty Plaza, New York City; Floribunda, a two-part temporary installation adapted from an original painting on the exterior and three original mixed media artworks inside the lobby at One Pierrepont Plaza in Brooklyn; Cruciferous, a temporary installation adapted from two original paintings, adorned the lobby of the Grace Building in New York City; set and prop design for Opera Columbus' production of Lully's Armide; and a large-scale wallpaper installation at the Columbus School for Girls. Recent publications include New American Paintings, International Painting Annual, and her work is included in several public and private collections including the Columbus Museum of Art and the Pizzuti Collection. "I am a mixed media artist concerned about our environment, creating and representing natural forms through a synthetic lens. Themes in my work straddle the realms of fashion and the natural world, while playing with the ideas of decoration, beauty, sensuality and questions regarding the handmade versus the mass produced. My work depicts the common and often ignored forms of weeds and wild flowers; recently, pollinators and other beneficial insects have crept into the work, creating a two-dimensional insectarium that depicts the interconnection of species, the fragility of our ecosystems, as well as a reverence for nature and all its inhabitants. By considering these commonplace forms in a new and unusual way, I hope to arouse a sense of wonder, appreciation, and concern for the environment, as well as the urgent need for a sustainable living planet."

We meet emerging artist Nash Glynn, from her studio in New York's Seaport! Nash Glynn (b.1992) is a transdisciplinary American artist currently working in NYC. Working across painting, photography, and video, Glynn is best known for her groundbreaking nude self-portraits of her experience and life as a transgender woman, an underrepresented figure in the Western art canon until recently. Glynn was born and raised in Miami, Florida and learned to paint while working at her father's set design shop. Speaking about their work, the artist says, ‘I use paint as I use my body, and as such the possibilities for spontaneity of form and change become inexhaustible. By crafting affective figures I seek to create empathy. The work serves as an affirmation, a reminder that representation has no outside, meaning we choose the reference, add and remove as we please, manipulate each stroke with unique gesture and tone. A process of painting, also known as self-determination.'Nash Glynn (b.1992) received her BFA in 2014 from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and in 2017 her MFA from Columbia University. She has had solo shows at Participant Inc. in 2019, OCD Chinatown in 2020, and an upcoming exhibition at Vielmetter Los Angeles in Fall 2021. Her work has been in publications such as Artforum, Candy Transversal Magazine, and New American Paintings. Glynn was the recipient of the Leslie-Lohman Museum Artist Fellowship in 2017."Interiors, with its plural title, belies the singularity of Glynn's point of view. Lately, she sticks to painting what she sees from the swivel stool she's positioned between window and easel, things like: apples in a bowl, closed door, knife. Herself in a mirror, or her mind's eye. Mostly windows. Yet this self-imposed agreement comes with a proviso to also see with her eyes closed, so as to produce landscapes that look mental. Glynn's intuitive aversion to the rules of the physical world finds its clearest expression in her palette, which has the firmness of a signature. Alice Neel's cobalt, Paul Gauguin's vermillion, Lucian Freud's mauve are all her colours now. Mixing: as little as possible. Earth tones: no. When she concedes the need for green in a landscape, the shade she uses is not actually grass but jade, à la Ferdinand Hodler; the resulting swath of field looks undulant and cold enough to pass for ocean. Then of course there is white. Rauschenberg's white, or Ryman's. The white of a well-rested eye, of the sand under the sun, of nothing said. Glynn has, over the past several years, developed a style of both still life and portraiture in which objects and/or subjects are exquisitely rendered and then set out on a ground that is white except for traces of shadow, so that the knife or flower or girl appears surfaced from memory."

Allison Jae Evans Allison Jae Evans is a painter whose restrained linear vocabulary draws viewers into a provocative world of seduction, objectivity, and power.

Evans was born in New Haven, CT and currently lives/works in Brooklyn, NY. She received a BA from Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH and an MFA from Hunter College in NYC. Evans's work has been exhibited at The Journal Gallery, 106 Green Gallery, Atlanta Contemporary, Edward Thorp Gallery, and Tiger Strikes Asteroid NY, among other venues.

Gabe Langholtz was born in 1971 and is an American painter, living and working in Austin Texas. His work, although primarily representational, is indebted to American Color Field painting, focusing on color relations, pattern making, form and line, with a heavy emphasis on the two-dimensional surface of the canvas. In the tradition of folk art, Langholtz routinely employs the use of mundane cultural objects and / or activities to establish a contemporary narrative, oftentimes drawing on humor, parody, and pastiche as tools for social commentary.   His work has been featured in New American Paintings and Create! Magazine, and exhibited nationally at Hashimoto Contemporary, Los Angeles, CA, San Francisco, CA, and New York, NY, BravinLee Programs, New York, NY, The Painting Center, New York, NY, and Bowery Gallery, New York, NY. Langholtz is influenced by the work of Mary Fedden, Philip Guston, Agnes Martin and Gary Bunt, while folk art and collage heavily inform his distinctive style.   LINKS:  www.gabelangholtz.com   Instagram:@gabelangholtzart     Sponsors: https://www.itransport4u.com/ https://www.sunlighttax.com/ilyw     I Like Your Work Links: I Like Your Work Black Friday Sale: Use Code BlackFriday30 for 30% off through November 27th!

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.

From working on two magazine covers for the New Yorker, attending Kehinde Wiley's Black Rock residency, to solo shows with Band of Vices and Luce Gallery in Italy, Grace's career is already some other people's bucket list. We talk about the underlining concepts of her work and how she's handling such rapid success. You know your boy can't help but get a little art nerdy about her materials and relationship to color. It's an all-around great conversation with one of the talented young Black woman artist that is redefining the image of Black women in art.

She creates lusciously composed paintings containing bright textures and patterns. Intricate moments are juxtaposed against flat, black swaths of paint shaped to represent black female bodies. The artist's painterly devices lead the viewer to question the very nature of color and how historically symbolic meanings surrounding colors and shades, especially black, are constructed. In Haynes's work, black appears aspirational, dignified, and sublime. The result is a network of images addressing complex topics and stereotypes surrounding black femininity.Grace Lynne Haynes, an inaugural member of Kehinde Wiley's Black Rock Senegal residency, is included in the 2020 edition of Forbes 30 Under 30 in Art & Style. Her first Los Angeles solo exhibition is in March of 2020 at the Band of Vices Gallery, and she will follow it up with a solo exhibition at Luce Gallery in Italy in 2022.

Mark Joshua Epstein is a gifted storyteller and artist. If you want a great evening, hang out with Mark and talk about what you are working on and be prepared to laugh and think differently about what you have created. Born in Rockville, Maryland, Mark spent his early school years at a conservative Jewish Day School and his summers at a progressive camp learning about Third Wave Feminism. This duality in his formative years hints at his later exploration for a new and alternative space in his work. Something that pushes back and asks why it must be one way or another, both or neither. He achieves this by stacking fiberglass shapes to create new forms that function as a shaped canvas but also protrude slightly to make you question if it is also a sculpture. What is the line? Is there a line and if so, should it be there?   This questioning also arises in the pattern that is applied to the work. Some of the pattern points to op-art while other areas remind us of the hand and tools making the piece. In Nothing Matters When We’re Dancing, Ink splotches are dripped onto the surface and encapsulated by a line forming a circle. This pattern radiates out and brings to mind cells in the body.  His knack for storytelling comes through in his titles such as Small Talk at the Salad Bar. These titles add another level to his work. The seemingly abstract pieces begin to shift just enough for us to see a figure, or what could be a stand in at least, challenging us to wonder, does the piece have to be either or?   Mark Joshua Epstein is an artist, educator and curator. He received an MFA from the Slade School of Fine Arts, University College London, and a BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Epstein has had solo or two person shows at Ortega y Gasset Projects’ Skirt Space (Brooklyn, NY) SPRING/BREAK Art Show (NY, NY), Handwerker Gallery, Ithaca College (Ithaca, NY), NARS Foundation Project Space (Brooklyn, NY), Caustic Coastal (Salford, England) Vane Gallery (Newcastle, England), Demo Project (Springfield, IL), Biquini Wax Gallery (Mexico City, Mexico), Breve (Mexico City, Mexico) and Brian Morris Gallery (New York, NY).    Selected group shows include Arlington Arts Center (Arlington, VA), Des Moines Art Center (Des Moines, IA), Collar Works (Troy, NY), Good Children Gallery (New Orleans, LA), Monaco (St Louis, MO), DAAP Galleries at the University of Cincinnati (Cincinnati, OH), and Beverly’s (New York, NY).    Epstein has been a resident at Vermont Studio Center, Millay Colony, Jentel Foundation, Macdowell Colony, KHN Center for the Arts, I-Park and Saltonstall Foundation amongst others. His work has appeared in publications such as New American Paintings, Art Maze Magazine and Dovetail. He works as a lecturer at the Penny Stamps School of Art and Design, at the University of Michigan.   “Reckoning with the change that accompanies a new studio and landscape, new shaped paintings, my largest to date, delve deeper into queer ornament and graphic excess, while limiting their color schemes. Taking inspiration from pattern and decoration, op art, and furniture design, these works continue the use of ornate patterning and overlapping panels that confound perception, while relishing in a new discomfort of compositional order. One painting’s title, Finding refuge in inefficiency (2021), nods to the pleasures found in the laborious and time-consuming nature of pattern-making exemplified in these recent works. And, as with earlier paintings, these works continue to challenge a viewer’s sense of taste and orientation.   Recent photographs, stemming from an interest in index and documentation, further emphasize my painting process. The images reproduce hand-made cut-outs, created from scraps of paper, which I often use to generate repetitive patterns within my paintings. Normally meant to deliver flatness and depth, shape and form to my fiberglass surfaces, the cut-outs in these photographs reframe the landscape immediately surrounding my studio.   My current work, both in painting and photography, refuses the either/or of binary polarities and opposing geographic pulls. All the while, by latticing together different planes, motifs, and marks, my work never forgets its own amusement.”-MJE   TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:   -Growing up with progressive summers and a conservative school year -Dealing with anxiety due to change -Moving to Canada to pursue a different major -Gap Year - “Leap and then Look” -Graduate School in London -Working in museum education -Interior Spaces and being inspired by his grandfather -Excubert rooms and wild interiors -Hustling in the art world -Making work that takes time -Bathroom colors -Leaving NYC -Leaving a little bit at a time -his current show -Staying open when curating a space   ARTIST SHOUTOUTS: Christian Maychack @cmaychack Yvette Molina @yvette_molina Adam Liam Rose @adamliamrose Zahar Vaks @zaharvaks Elizabeth McMahon @elizabethwmcmahon   LINKS:  Website: www.markjoshuaepstein.com Instagram: @markjoshuaepstein Current solo show at Ortega y Gasset: www.oygprojects.com/the-skirt-current Current group show at Arlington Arts Center: www.arlingtonartscenter.org/exhibits/2021/stretched/ Upcoming outdoor group show in New York: www.bravinlee.com/regrowth-riverside     I Like Your Work Links:   I Like Your Work Podcast Studio Planner Instagram Submit Work Observations on Applying to Juried Shows

Sophie Grant is an artist using painting, drawing, collage, and processes of transference and erasure to create energetic abstractions. In her work, foregrounds and backgrounds fluctuate with compositions that challenge depth perception. Pours of paint and crusty stains coagulate, evoking erosion and relief. Hand built ceramics punctuate fields of flatness, adding dimension to the rigid support of a wall. Her recent drawings are graphite rubbings that explore temporary physical and psychological sites through the echoes of histories embedded in object surfaces. These works grapple with ideas of boundaries and containers, and question what delineates the periphery of objects. Sophie's practice culls and compresses disjointed gestures, allowing shapes, digits, and surface variations to become units of measurement and unknowable markers. The result is a materially varied set of transcribed bodily perceptions, grounded in the subject of landscape. Sophie Grant was born in Santa Cruz, California and lives and works in New York City. She received her BA in Painting from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2008, completed her MFA at Hunter College in 2015, and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2015. She has been a former participant in Shandaken's Paint School, The Hercules Art Studio Program, and The Keyholder Program at the Lower East Side Printshop in New York, NY, as well as a former resident at The Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna, FL, The Pajama Factory in Williamsport, PA, and Painting's Edge in Idyllwild, CA. Her work has been exhibited at Flag Art Foundation, Spring Break, Underdonk and Y2k Gallery among others. Publications include The New York Times, Hyperallergic, The Artist's Institute Hunted Book Series, and New American Paintings.

Maja Ruznic, a prolific and active artist, is primarily a painter, a storyteller who conjures form and narrative from ground up mineral, smeared oil, and stained canvas. Born in Bosnia and Hercegovina in 1983, Ruznic immigrated to the United States with her family in 1995, settling on the West Coast where she eventually went on to study at the University of California, Berkeley, later receiving an MFA from the California College of Arts. Ruznic’s often-quoted biography – a refugee who escaped the Bosnian War – is only the beginning of her journey. Ruznic’s vivid paintings speak for themselves, depicting figures that seem to emerge from the caverns of human history, from within their own supports, and somehow from within the viewer’s own recollections. These paintings breach something intrinsically human and Ruznic guides us deftly with dark humor and complex representations, not dissimilar to Werner Herzog’s wry, but poignant 3-D documentary depicting the oldest painted images in the world. Ruznic has exhibited internationally and her work has been written about extensively, most notably in ArtMaze Magazine, Juxtapoz, San Francisco Bay Guardian, Studio Visit Magazine, and twice in New American Paintings, including the cover as selected by curator Anne Ellegood.  In 2018, Ruznic was a recipient of the Hopper Prize and in 2019, Ruznic’s painting “Azmira’s Daughters” was acquired by the Dallas Museum of Art. Ruznic is represented by Conduit, Hales and Karma.

Episode Thirty-One features Grace Lynne Haynes. She is a California born visual artist currently based in New Jersey. She creates lusciously composed paintings containing bright textures and patterns. Intricate moments are juxtaposed against flat, black swaths of paint shaped to represent black female bodies. The artist’s painterly devices lead the viewer to question the very nature of color and how historically symbolic meanings surrounding colors and shades, especially black, are constructed. In Haynes’s work, black appears aspirational, dignified, and sublime. The result is a network of images addressing complex topics and stereotypes surrounding black femininity. Formally, Lynne is a master of color play and conveying textural details. She showcases young women lounging in luxuriously painted patterns against washes of color. Grace portrays tender moments as the hands of her figures rest on swaths of delicately layered areas of patterning and puffy tufts of material that compose of clothing. Grace Lynne Haynes, an inaugural member of Kehinde Wiley’s Black Rock Senegal residency, is included in the 2020 edition of Forbes 30 Under 30 in Art & Style. Her first international solo exhibition is with Luce Gallery in Italy in April 2022. Haynes has exhibited at the Ontario Museum of History and Art, Untitled Art Miami, Dallas Art Fair and Paul Robeson Gallery of Rutgers University, Newark. She was a selected artist in Daily Collector’s online article “20 Painter’s Who Are Shaping the Next Decade”, and her work has been published in Vogue, LA Weekly, New American Paintings, WhiteWall Magazine, Culture Type and on the cover of The New Yorker. https://www.booooooom.com/2020/07/28/artist-spotlight-grace-lynne-haynes/ https://www.lucegallery.com/work/grace_lynne-haynes.html https://www.bygracelynne.com https://www.bandofvices.com/grace-lynne-haynes https://www.1-54.com/new-york/artists/haynes-grace-lynne/ https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cover-story/cover-story-2020-08-03 https://www.cnn.com/style/article/grace-lynne-haynes-new-yorker-cover-sojourner-truth/index.html

Blade shared how he teaches with a focus on process over product and bringing his ways of looking and making into his classrooms. He shifted from teaching at the university level through a summer career shift program and just dove into teaching at the elementary level, primarily 2nd grade, this year. What a wild first year! Blade is constantly inspired by the work his early elementary students create and talks about the inventiveness of this age level. He also shares some of his favorite lessons so far and how teaching is akin to improv in some ways. Blade Wynne was born in 1980, in Providence, Rhode Island. He received his BFA in Painting from Pratt Institute in 2002 and his MFA in Painting from Rhode Island School of Design in 2008. His work has recently been exhibited at Shockoe Artspace of Richmond, and The Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art. His work has appeared in publications such as “Journal of the Print World" and "New American Paintings." He is a recipient of the VMFA Visual Arts Fellowship, (Professional Award) as well as the Virginia Commission for the Arts Fellowship in Painting. As an educator he taught 2D design, Painting, and Drawing for several years in the Foundation Art Department at Virginia Commonwealth University and The Governor’s School for the Arts in Norfolk, Virginia. He is currently entering his second year of teaching elementary art in the public school system of Chesapeake, Virginia. I love how Blade has adjusted his own art practice to fit into his life as a busy first year teacher and parent of 3 young kids. He’s growing trees in pots as an art form, as objects to draw or paint from, as sculpture, as a practice that feeds creativity. I can’t help but relate his plants to his students. He spoke about how he gives a little water and helps shape the plants and the plants continue to grow for years. It makes him think about longevity and a brighter future. Children bring me to those hopeful thoughts.

This episode is deeply personal as our guest, Andrew Hendrixson, has been a friend for some time. Andrew is a visual artist and poet, as well as a beautiful human being seeking ways to talk about God when we don't have words.We talk about the vocation of the artist, what a poem or painting “is trying to say,” and how all art is following some sort of agitation. In Andrew's words, “I don't know how else I would understand God other than poetically or via metaphors.”Andrew has studied art and philosophy in multiple universities, the most recent being Yale University. He taught art at our alma mater, Mount Vernon Nazarene University. You can find his artwork here and you can connect with Andrew's work on Instagram: @andrewhendrixsonstudioMuch of his work can also be found in publications including New American Paintings, The Princeton Theological Review, Penmarks, and Yale Letters Journal.Music by Robert EbbensArtwork by Eric Wright/Metamora Design

L.A.-based painter Davyd Whaley Foundation director Nick Brown talks about : Quitting all his teaching jobs in favor of bartending while in New York because he needed to be making significantly for the high cost of living; how he got his current day job as director of the Davyd Whaley Foundation, which gives artist’s grants in the Southern California region, and what the job entails; how his being involved in the jury process has made him more sympathetic to artists who apply, advocating for prospective grantees; how he’s found artists in L.A. to be more generous in sharing opportunities than he experienced while in New York, and how he really likes to making art world introductions; his career successes and struggles, and how he sees the Whaley grant for emerging artists as a way for them to get a boost of recognition and advances their career; how he’s maintaining his UCLA extension teaching job in addition to being the Foundation director because he loves teaching so much, despite its challenges; how he sells his work, both to collectors he’s been able to cultivate without a gallery, as well as small watercolors on Instagram; the story of when a collector rang him up out of the blue and bought $10k of his work at a moment when he was really hurting financially; and how he applied to New American Paintings two years in a row with the exact same work, getting in the 2nd time (because it was all about the viewer, he said--not the work).

Over the past thirteen years, Rob Tarbell has developed and drawn from two unique processes – “Smokes”, smoke based work and the “Struggles”, porcelain sculptural ceramics.In 2006, a failed portrait attempt using cigarettes and liquor collided with a lingering what – if : What if I burned my credits cards and used the smoke to make marks?The first attempt at burning credit cards yielded a deep black with seductive wispy grays no brush could deliver. Tarbell’s penchant for embracing unorthodox methods and materials was then fully focused on the potential of capturing and creating with smoke. He continues to pioneer and push his smoke technique through rigorous trial and error and with the adaptation of tools and the creation of equipment to suit each new discovery and advance of the smoke process. To create the smoke, credit cards, gift cards, and, now, 35mm slides of his artwork are burned - removing their growing presence in daily life - an ironic nod to a self-help technique of burning sentimental things to remove their emotional burden or historical connection. The smoke process involves directly permitting or preventing its accumulation, or by indirectly encouraging or discouraging the flow of smoke on the surface. The Struggles are sculptural ceramic figures created by infusing fabrics and faux fur with porcelain slip, forming, then firing. Each figure embodies the acts of loss, transformation, and preservation in subject, concept, and material. Animals appear whole, or in part, and impersonate through guises or by employing disguises. Rabbits embody a vast array of symbols and possess the ability to pass between the real and imaginary while still remaining true to their chosen character.In 2017, the Tampa Museum of Art featured his smoke and porcelain work in Skyway Selections: Curator’s Choice. His work has been shown in more than twenty solo exhibitions and seventy-five group exhibitions throughout the United States, Korea, China, and England. Rob’s work is currently represented by Claire Oliver Gallery in New York.Tarbell’s work has been featured in more than 50 articles in publications worldwide, including New American Paintings, the Huffington Post UK, Daily Mail UK, and the Kultura Zabaikalya in Transbaikalia, Siberia. BioBorn in Findlay, Ohio, Rob Tarbell earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting and Graphic Design from Auburn University. He attended graduate school at the University of Tennessee where he earned a Master of Fine Arts degree and Master of Science degree in Art Education. For nearly two decades, he has balanced his studio practice with teaching at institutions such as Virginia Commonwealth University and James Madison University. Moving to Sarasota, Florida, in 2013, he continued to hone his techniques in his home studio, while he worked at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and taught at the New College of Florida and the Ringling College of Art and Design. Tarbell and his family work and reside in Richmond, Virginia.

In this episode, I had a wonderful time connecting with the Houston based artist Jasmine Zelaya. A lot of you guys may be familiar with Jasmine's work from the cover of New American Paintings. In this interview, we touch on the topic of why Jasmine decided to start applying to opportunities such as New American Paintings and how by setting that goal for herself, she has been in multiple publications, exhibitions, mural projects and now has had her work featured in the show First Wives Club on BET+.   From talking about goals to her studio practice and our mutual love of jackets, Jasmine was a pleasure to have on the show. She is a graduate of the Kansas City Art Institute and received her BFA in Painting in 2006. She was awarded a residency through the Charlotte Street Foundation’s Urban Culture Project in Kansas City, Missouri, in 2008. Based in Houston, her work has been exhibited throughout the US. Her work has been included in various publications, including the Winter Issue 11 of ArtMaze Magazine and she was the cover artist for New American Paintings, West Issue #132. In 2018, her painting “Twins” was displayed on the Main Street Marquee, a billboard-sized installation displayed on the exterior of the Main Street Market building in Downtown Houston. Most recently, her work was featured on First Wives Club, now streaming on BET+.   LINKS https://jasminezelaya.com/ First Wives Club New American Paintings Thank you to the support of our sponsor, artist Hannah Cole of Sunlight Tax!

Maja Ruznic, a prolific and active artist, is primarily a painter, a storyteller who conjures form and narrative from ground up mineral, smeared oil, and stained canvas. Born in Bosnia and Hercegovina in 1983, Ruznic immigrated to the United States with her family in 1995, settling on the West Coast where she eventually went on to study at the University of California, Berkeley, later receiving an MFA from the California College of Arts. Ruznic’s often-quoted biography – a refugee who escaped the Bosnian War – is only the beginning of her journey. Ruznic’s vivid paintings speak for themselves, depicting figures that seem to emerge from the caverns of human history, from within their own supports, and somehow from within the viewer’s own recollections. These paintings breach something intrinsically human and Ruznic guides us deftly with dark humor and complex representations, not dissimilar to Werner Herzog’s wry, but poignant 3-D documentary depicting the oldest painted images in the world. Ruznic has exhibited internationally and her work has been written about extensively, most notably in ArtMaze Magazine, Juxtapoz, San Francisco Bay Guardian, Studio Visit Magazine, and twice in New American Paintings, including the cover as selected by curator Anne Ellegood. In 2018, Ruznic was a recipient of the Hopper Prize and in 2019, Ruznic’s painting “Azmira’s Daughters” was acquired by the Dallas Museum of Art. In 2020, she has upcoming solo shows with Conduit Gallery in Dallas, TX and Hales Gallery in London. Topics Discussed In This Episode: Practicing “Is-ness” Maja moving to Roswell, NM Intaking artwork at a subconscious level Recognizing and healing from pain and trauma Maja growing up in Bosnia in various refuge camps www.artistdecoded.com

Photo credit: Cedric Angeles Reoccurring themes of technology and the manipulation of nature can be found in Brian Guidry’s paintings and installations. Guidry's paintings range visually from compressed lines of color to abstract eruptions. The artist synthesizes color, sound and texture to create “digitized” or “dissolved landscapes,” using a specific color palette sampled from a variety of natural sources. The injection of these “natural” colors into geometric planes and constructions creates shapes and voids suggestive of portals or slips in time, leading the viewer over the precipice of the normal, into the magical realism of the uncanny, peculiar and quantum. Brian Guidry lives and works in South Louisiana. He received his BFA from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. He received his MFA in Painting from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Selected exhibitions include; The Bronx Museum in New York; Gana Art Space, Seoul, Korea; the Odgen Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans; The Contemporary Art Center in New Orleans and the National Collage of Arts in Lahore, Pakistan. His work has been featured and discussed in Time Out Chicago, ArtForum, The Times-Picayune, Gambit Weekly, Pelican Bomb, The New York Times, and New American Paintings. His work is in the collections of the New Orleans Museum of Art; The Odgen Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans, LA.; National College of Arts--Lahore, Pakistan; New York Public Library, New York, NY; Pratt Institute Library, Brooklyn, NY; and Paul & Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum, Lafayette, LA.

Born in 1985 in California, Anna Valdez’s interest in cultural formation and collective consciousness began in her hometown. Exposed from a young age to a uniquely Californian cultural milieu, her proclivity for collecting and crafting a poignant and meaningful visual vocabulary took root during time spent sharing in the traditions and environments of people within her community. Her fascination with the ways in which cultural identities intersect lead her to pursue a career in sociocultural anthropology. It was on an archeological dig in Ireland that Valdez first discovered her skill for art making. Valdez was encouraged to keep a sketchbook of the site, creating scale drawings and maps. Visually reinterpreting these “abandoned sites” allowed Valdez to explore the connection between anthropological and artistic methods of cataloguing and record-keeping. Today, working across painting, drawing, printmaking, collage, and digital media, Valdez examines the relationship between material and cultural identity. Valdez incorporates articles found in domestic spaces such as plants, textiles, vessels and keepsakes into her work as a method of storytelling. Her colorful work invites the viewer to consider objects as emblematic of personal and collective experience, shifting between still life and portraiture. Anna Valdez received her MFA in painting from Boston University in 2013. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States. Valdez’s work has been featured in Juxtapoz Magazine, New American Paintings, Booooooom.com, and Daily Serving. Her work has recently been exhibited at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Masur Museum of Art, the Danforth Museum, Boston University Art Galleries, Hashimoto Contemporary in San Francisco, and Parts Gallery in Toronto Canada. instagram.com/missannavaldez https://annavaldez.com

Allison Reimus's work explores the relationship between decoration and function and similarly, how painting operates as both an object and an idea. Simple compositions depicting singular moments and objects, within a shallow pictorial space, allow Reimus to freely explore her interests in formalism, geometry and abstraction. Thoughtful investigations regarding tactility and surface often lead to experiments with media closely associated with domesticity and the feminine--  glitter, gold leaf, flocking fibers, textiles and spray paint.  Reimus's work has been featured in numerous exhibitions and publications throughout the United States. Recent solo and two-person exhibitions include Tiger Strikes Asteroid (Chicago, IL), Knox College (Galesburg, IL), and The Mission (Chicago, IL). Recent group exhibitions include Left Field Gallery (Los Osos, CA), Kirk Hopper Fine Art (Dallas, TX), Platform Gallery (Baltimore, MD) and No Place Gallery (Columbus, OH). Her work has been included in ArtMaze Mag, Maake Magazine and New American Paintings (#88, #113, #125), where she was highlighted as both an "Editor's Selection" and a "Noteworthy Artist." Reviews include The Boston Globe, The Washington Post and NPR. Upcoming exhibitions include Left Field Gallery (Los Osos, CA) and Massey Klein Gallery (New York, NY).   In this episode, Allison and I dive into her background, and how growing up in Michigan shaped who she is as a driven artist. We discuss her process within her work and how we were both told not to have children in order to have a career in the arts. This conversation sheds light on how women are told to live their life which we are currently seeing in politics with the challenge to Roe vs Wade. Predominantly white men are telling women what to do with their bodies.
