We were lucky enough to speak with 96 year old realist painting legend, Philip Pearlstein. Pearlstein has been part of a significant moment in history, when America took the art world by storm in the 50s and 60s with Abstract Expressionism leading the way.We contemporary artists are now so overly saturated with rapidly evolving and competing mass information, that it is hard to see what even matters these days, let alone think ourselves to be part of...2020-11-301h 51Art Grind PodcastEp: 47 - Patrick McGinnis - Believe It and Live ItIn this episode of Art Grind, hosts Dina Brodsky, Marshall Jones, and producer Tun Myaing interview writer and entrepreneur Patrick McGinnis in New York City. Best known for coining the term “FOMO” (Fear Of Missing Out), McGinnis seems like an unusual guest: what could someone from the world of finance speak about on an art podcast? As an art collector, writer, and brother of a musician, it turns out that McGinnis has a lot to talk about. McGinnis not only shares pragmatic advice useful for any creative, but is a bold storyteller who respects art and culture.

With the faint sound of crickets setting the stage, Alex and Hollis speak about their different paths to becoming artists and how thought, experience, memory, and painting converge—usually as the same thing. Though Alex paints more representationally and views painting more as investigation, whereas Hollis paints more abstractly and views painting more as insight, they share their “curate[d] life” in agreement that “painting never ends.” Tune in not just for Art Grind’...2020-10-301h 56Art Grind PodcastEp: 44 - Nicolas Holiber - Adventures in DeconstructionWhat’s the difference between an artist, an engineer, an architect, and a contractor? For Nicolas Holiber, there isn’t one! Nicolas is a compelling sculptor and painter whose practice blurs the lines between the two using mediums such as acrylic paste, tar, oil paint, plaster, reclaimed wood, hardware, and even beeswax. He not only plays with the technicality of surface, but the idea of surface itself. His love for materiality and experimentation focuses on merging his tactile interests with content and narrative packed full of thought provoking ephemerality. Listen in, and let Nic's tranquil composure give you an idea...2020-05-242h 07Art Grind PodcastEp: 43 - Fredrick Brosen - He's Got GameIn this Episode of Art Grind, Marshall, Sophia, and Dina join forces to interview an exceptional watercolorist, Frederick Brosen.

We talk about the ever changing art world, technique, and the studio as a sanctuary where an artist can maintain their integrity and authenticity. We also talk about the idea of mastery. Whatever your medium, style, or interest; mastery seems to be something that is earned through hard work, and always demands respect if not affection. Join us an...2020-05-061h 05Art Grind PodcastEp: 42 Aleah Chapin - Painting, The Invisible InstinctIn this episode, Marshall and Sophia speak with Seattle based painter Aleah Chapin. Aleah’s ability to paint so candidly about the natural and intimate relationships she witnesses in her life is profoundly multidimensional. She is an incredible technical flesh whiz with a contemporary edge that gives her portraits and figures of women a sense of vivid presence and beauty. Aleah was extremely generous and open with us about her life, process, technique, and her experiences in the art world. Listen in as we speak with her about a creative journey toward letting go and trusting her own intuition.2020-04-222h 05Art Grind PodcastEp: 41 Ali Banisadr - Zen and the Symphonic Time MachineYou paint an eye. Is this the eye that everybody sees? Or is this the eye that only you see, and to you it means eye. All painters hope to become visual listeners with intuitive clarity. Benisadr has a special ability to listen to his paintings in a way that not many people can. Synesthesia is a neurological ability to process data in the form of several senses at once. When Ali made the decision to make work based on sounds he heard in color, he found a sort of freedom in meshing overwhelming sensations of rhythm, energy, time, a...2020-03-201h 20Art Grind PodcastEp: 40 Anastasiya Tarasenko - An Undeniable TruthHumanist, Feminist, Hedonist, Painter! Anastasiya Tarasenko asks the hard brazen questions. Her thickly painted oil on copper paintings are unique and provocative. She employs a personalized and undeniable symbolic imagery that shares a simultaneously dark and humorous, specific yet universal, reduced yet refined commentary on existence. Her fascinating vacillation between the macro and micro world views allows her to both appreciate and reconcile the ultimate dichotomy- That to exist- Is to live in contradiction with ones self. Listen to this candid conversation as Marshall and Sophia and Anastasiya delve into all of the juicy stuff- sex...2020-02-241h 34

As painters, we had a lot of questions about the logistics involved in this particular strain of contemporary art-making: what happens when, during a process that is based on removal rather than addition or application, one makes a mistake? How does a sculptor store his works, which typically take up more 3-dimensional space than those of a painter? And how does carving massive blocks of marble that, if left unattended, could persist as they are for centuries to come, affect one's sense of permanence and...2018-08-182h 32Art Grind PodcastEp: 015 - Vincent DesiderioThis installment of the Art Grind podcast features a painter who has been a longtime personal role model for several of the podcast's hosts.

Verily, the artist would claim, his often controversial selection of materials might draw out negative reactions in some; however, it is precisely this moral panic that Joseph Grazi seems to want to beget in his audience -- demanding the answers to questions such as: What is it that we value about human and...2018-07-011h 14
