By Flesh and Wall: The Relentless Drive to Make Art with Nick Stiles

Tonight 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.

Scholar to Studio: Academic Turned Artist with Dr. Bridget R. Cooks

Tonight'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 in the pool and can't wait to have her back - tune in to one of our most articulate episodes yet Dr. Bridget R.
