Peter Blake is a globally recognized  pioneer of the Laguna Beach fine art world, as a beacon and early champion of the California contemporary minimalist style, notably California Light and Space, his particular backing of that time in art has been validated in spades by action houses around the worlds in recent times.

Such a pleasure to present this in-depth interview with the man who's mission has elevated the art sophistication and appreciation so single handedly, Peter Blake. Peter Blake is a renowned dealer of California Light and Space who opened his eponymous Laguna Beach gallery in 1993.

Canadian painter Janna Watson uses abstraction as both an escape from and return to the real. As the world we know dematerializes into paint strokes, so too does her paint take stage as its very own character in a multi-act drama of composition. Bundles of colour, made up of discrete yet inseparable instances of pigment—what Watson refers to as “moments”—are teeming and poised as though caught mid-multiplication. Sweeps of paint re-direct sharply and fold over themselves; thin, rigid ink lines cut into the pictorial field as rudimentary elements in an increasingly complex system of painterly language. All the components play out on a surface of slow, chromatic gradation. Like many of Watson’s players, these backdrops tenderly gesture toward the familiar, stopping just short of representation. The result is a conceptual project (and distinct, stylistic signature) that speaks to a contemporary milieu in which abstract painting is not the retreat of meaning into an unrecognizable realm, but rather the emergence of medium as a “figure” in its own self-inscribed world of feeling and being. Watson does more than reveal paint’s potential to emote—she gives it a space to reveal itself, in its own time. Janna Watson holds an honours degree in Drawing and Painting from the Ontario College of Art and Design, and since graduating has exhibited extensively across Canada and internationally in over thirty solo exhibitions. Her work has appeared in notable public collections including those of TD Bank, CIBC, Telus, the Ritz-Carlton, ONi ONE, the Soho Metropolitan Hotel, and Saks Fifth Avenue. In 2013, she was commissioned to create an impressive, 11-foot painting for the lobby of AURA, Canada’s tallest residential building. Watson’s paintings circulate regularly at international fairs, including Art Toronto, CONTEXT Art Miami, and in Seattle, where they were recently featured by Artsy in its list of “10 Works to Collect at the Seattle Art Fair.” Watson’s work has been covered by publications such as The Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail, NOW Magazine, and House & Home. Janna Watson also runs Studio Watson, a business dedicated to redefining interiors with hand-tufted floor pieces inspired by the artist’s abstract compositions. She lives and works in Toronto. Topics Discussed In This Episode: Janna’s experience as a youth growing up in a small town in northern Ontario with her father being a Pentecostal pastor.  “Living in somewhat of a bubble… “naive atmosphere” as a child.” She was an introvert and spent her growing life in the church, which Janna says added to the naïve atmosphere.  Janna reflects about her experiences coming out at the age of 18, her process of beginning to question the very faith she grew up believing, and how the world might be moving around her.  Janna explains how she came to a particular point of surrender in the wrestling of her faith and personal life. – Critical point within her story; being a major catalyst for who she is today.  Janna realized later on in her life how much she needed to “touch into” the spiritual world and tap into surrender.  The process of covering all of her paintings with resin during a rough period in her life. “Shiny and sexy – glossing over the flaws.”   Janna explains speaking in tongues and how she personally uses it within her prayer life and her thoughts on how speaking in this manner somehow transports her to her subconscious state of mind to be able to translate those feelings in her artwork.  Janna’s grandfather pushing her to draw the “essence of things” in her drawings and how they needed to be wilder. He taught her the art of abstraction.  Janna reflects on the title of her show speaking to the way we are currently living our lives as the coronavirus is occurring.  www.artistdecoded.com

In this special edition of Waiting To Dry, Sergio hangs out with artists Za Vue and Anton Pavlenko while camping in Maryhill, Washington for the Pacific Northwest Plein Air event. They get into camping near an active wildfire, the importance of swimming during a plein air event, brag about our camp food, how Anton damaged another painter’s painting, getting probed, Chewy the Camping Cat, and what makes them choose which events they do. Sergio talks to Za and Anton about their unique painting styles, and we discuss representational vs. abstract in plein air, staying humble after winning awards, plans for a competition-free paintout, and lots of Tech-Talk™ about cold wax medium. They talk about their impromptu trip to the Seattle Art Fair and what they liked/ridiculed, and find out Anton and Za’s Top 5 Dead Or Alive! Sergio wraps it up with a brand new segment for the show!

In today's show, Justin, Lydia, and Maura discuss the upcoming Seattle Art Fair, a fire destroying 65 liters of rum, some Britsh volunteers that helped with the cave rescue in Thailand being rewarded with a car full of beer and a man who made a huge profit on an antique bottle of win that he thought was a fake. Then, we talk with Mat Connolly of Georgetown Brewing and Trey Busch of Sleight of Hand Cellars and the Underground Wine Project about teaming up with Pearl Jam to raise money for their Vitalogy Fundation. Plus, we take a look at the most iconic drink in every U.S. state!

Greg Lundgren does a lot of stuff, as the owner of Vito's, The Hideout and Lundgren Monuments, you'd think he'd have his hands full. But no, he had to go create Out Of Sight, a huge survey of art from the PNW currently in its second year and opening August 4th alongside the Seattle Art Fair. We sat down in my studio to talk about what went into its creation, what's new this year, what keeps him going and what drives him crazy.

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, Max Fishko, director of the Seattle Art Fair, joins us to preview this year's edition of the fair which is occurring on August 4th-7th. First, Max describes the Seattle art scene to us as well as the collecting community there. Then, he reveals Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's motivation for establishing the Seattle Art Fair last year and his involvement in the fair. Also, Max shares his thoughts on the different ways in which galleries are attempting to pursue emerging collectors from the technology industry. Lastly, Max previews this year's edition of the fair and the week in Seattle.

This week, a tasty sound sandwich consisting of two ingredients:1) We've got advance coverage of the Seattle Art Fair with a Think Out Loud discussion on the Pacific Northwest's foray into the high-end art fair market. If you're just tuning in, art fairs have become a driving force in how artists and gallerists move new work. Seattle dealers are trying to connect with high-level patrons with their own four-day event. We hear from Portland gallerist Elizabeth Leach and art critic Jen Graves of The Stranger.2) Also we revisit a special show guest-curated by KMHD's program director Matt Fleeger, one of our favorite guys in the building. While he shapes the sound of Portland's jazz radio station, he's actually somewhat of a reluctant jazz guy. He'll share some top spins on his radar this year, talk about artists he thinks are breaking boundaries and show us some new ways to think about a traditional American form. • 13:35 - We talk about jazz past, present and future with bassist and composer Chuck Israels, drummer Chris Brown, and drummer and writer Tim DuRoche. • 35:58 - Matt shares some of the bands he's most excited about right now, including Coco Columbia, Grammies, 1939 Ensemble and Roberto Rodriguez. • 41:48 - Record producer Tucker Martine talks about the sonic qualities of jazz recordings, and how he incorporates them into the seminal indie pop records he’s produced as well as Grammy-nominated records for Bill Frissell.
