This week's guest is Cal Rice, a surrealist painter and sculptor who uses autobiographical feelings and memories to construct his work. He works mostly in painting, but we also talk about his sculptural works. We cover a lot of ground, from how Cal started drawing to his current work as a response to the current state of the world. Cal is currently in Boston and you can find his work at https://www.calmcrice.com/

As mentioned many times during the intro/outro: this interview was live streamed to Twitch this week and there happened to be no "bridge to outside of the art world" but there was a Twitch Chat asking questions! If you'd like to see the podcast interviews live tune into Twitch.tv/fineartpodcast and be sure to follow our Instagram @fineartpod for information on upcoming interviews!

This week's guest is William Van Beckum, a photographic artist exploring the human relationship with natural landscapes, especially over social media. We talk about how Will got started and the camps he ran that inspired his art practice. We also talk about his current work at the Davis Museum which is still closed due to quarantine. Will's work has been shown at The Sparks Gallery, Dryden Gallery, Monmouth Museum, AREA Gallery, Contact Gallery..to name a few.

This week's guest is Justin Favela. He's a multidisciplinary artist that creates large installation, sculptures and paintings using the medium of "piñata". For example, a recent work called "Libertad" at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia features an real 1984 Thunderbird decorated with weather-proof fabric to look like a piñata. (We talk about it on the episode!) Another recent work is Puente Nuevo! which is on display at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, is a large (corridor sized) installation of piñata paintings. He's been commissioned by the Denver Art Museum and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. He's also the recipient of the 2018 Alan Turing LGTBIQ Award for International Artist. He also runs two podcasts! (linked below)

This is a really fun episode. Special thanks to Eric Schwartz for being the "Bridge to Outside of the Art World". Every week I ask a friend who is not a fine artist to join in the conversation and talk about some art!
