2025-08-121h 21Location 1980 PodcastBy Flesh and Wall: The Relentless Drive to Make Art with Nick StilesTonight the guys sit down with Nick Stiles, a longtime enthusiast and participant at the studio. Nick is an immensely skilled painter who works strongly in the domains of fantasy, darkness, and imagination. Especially notable is his talent with the figure, long understood as the pinnacle of practice in art: training to render the human form trains one to render anything. He also has several large, public murals to his credit, and recently gave a four-part figure drawing course here at Location 1980.Nick's LinksNick Stiles ArtInsta: NickStilesArt
2025-06-111h 11Location 1980 PodcastScholar to Studio: Academic Turned Artist with Dr. Bridget R. CooksTonight's guest Dr. Bridget R. Cooks is the most well-read person we've had on the show. With a Ph.D. in Art History, Visual and Cultural Studies, she is a published author, has written in dozens of exhibition catalogues and academic journals, and has curated numerous exhibitions around the country. But these are only a few of the credentials, stories, and accomplishments in her name: to list everything we talk about in this episode would be impossible. And presently, she's stepping across the aisle, picking up the brush and becoming a visual artist herself. We only dipped our toes...

2025-04-211h 24Location 1980 PodcastPaint Beyond the Picture - Scott LudwigTonight's guest, Scott Ludwig, has been in the game for some thirty years. To simply address his works as "abstract" would be to miss the deeper layers of process that go on. Beyond depicting designed scenes, Scott's work experiments with the very medium itself: he has an intimate understanding of viscosities, transparencies, and intermixabilities of various pigments and carriers. What's more, he never stops experimenting and moving forward. Listen in to see how he keeps his engagement with art - as both a producer and an enjoyer - constantly fresh.To get in touch with Scott...

2025-01-272h 10Location 1980 PodcastFrom Corporate to Creator: Natasha Patel's Bold Art EvolutionAfter doing time as an employee, Natasha realized no path to success lay there: the only option is to take the reins in your own hands and chart a novel course. She produced flow art for a while that was a pleasing initial step into creative endeavours, and she experienced marketability, but felt undifferentiated from the hordes of other artists doing the same thing. Inspiration would be found on a trip to the motherland, India - Natasha is a first generation American - and her focus has honed. New works feature rich colours and architectural influences of India's timeless...

2024-08-262h 37Location 1980 PodcastFrom Muse to Master: An Angel Purging the Dæmons - KatyaKatya began practicing art later in life, first modeling for figure drawing sessions and then attending as well. Eventually pursuing a full studio practice, she elevated to a level of fantastically expressive work in a very short time. Much of her work focuses on figures and bodies that are highly distorted and exaggerated, often portraying dark, anxious, and uncomfortable themes such as isolation, anxiety, and the sense of performance in daily life. In a Jungian way, by not hiding from the darkness she is able to move with light.Katya:https://www.chasethesunlight.com

2024-07-241h 05Location 1980 PodcastScholar to Creator: The Art of Making Artists with Amy KellsAmy Kells is one of 1980's longest running artists and an unfiltered, wide-open-throttle creative to her core. Believing that all people possess an artistic drive from birth, she never saw herself going that direction as a child. But a combination of skill, fortunate intervention, and having tested alternative waters eventually led her to pivot halfway through school from academia to a fine arts degree. Whether it's her own practice, nurturing the education of the next generation of art students, coordinating artists for live painting events, showcasing her skills to stoke the crowd, or leading art workshops, Amy lives her...
2024-06-271h 12Location 1980 PodcastDecades of Innovation with Friends and PioneersNancy Anderson and Ruth Geller have been longtime friends of the studio, and have the types of art careers we love to feature: they have both practiced art consistently for decades, evolving through styles and media as mastery of one led to the search for new challenges. Having participated in exhibitions, won awards, and moved around the country, neither seeks the art "scene" so talked about by laymen and portrayed endlessly in Hollywood. You may be standing next to a great artist in the grocery store, and not even know it.Nancy Anderson: https://www.nancyandersonart...

After schooling in graphic design, she decided to go into art production for herself and never stepped foot in an ad agency.

2024-05-241h 51Location 1980 PodcastExtreme Adventures with a Maverick ArtistToday the guys chat with an old friend of Location 1980, Bert Esenherz. He was doing out-of-the-box feats that cannot be classified as performance art, comedy, or improv alone, decades before broadband and social media made this kind of thing commonplace. Many of his events are truly art for art's sake, and evidence mastery of the art of living: that is to say, demonstrating (and testing) just how far this thing called life can be taken. This is all, of course, in addition to his skills as a painter, set builder, producer, and videographer. Bert tells his stories so casually, it's...

In this way, the piece is not a static thing but a context for a conversation to take place between participants and artist, or participants and each other. Those who engage with the piece are elevated from mere spectators and become creators themselves. They have involvement and essentially choice rather than detached viewership. The piece gains an infinity, because the experience of...
