Ep. 86 Art News 'Take The Money And Run'

https://www.hammondartstudio.com/ Hammond, represented by Rehs Contemporary Galleries in Midtown Manhattan, grew up in the historic Hudson Valley of New York. His earliest influences included Jim Davis and Charles Schultz, as well as characters created by DC and Marvel Comics. His interest in art was further fueled by the strong museum and arts background of his parents. In the late 90's, Hammond studied the business and presentation side of the fine art world while working for Vanier Galleries, Scottsdale, AZ. In doing so, he was exposed to world-renowned artists such as Dale Chihuly, Francoise Gillot, Fritz Scholder and Paul Jenkins. He had his first solo exhibition in 2000 and earned his B.A. in Art from Arizona State University in 2006. While trained in representational art, Hammond began working from the subconscious, and in 2011 he shifted to an abstract expressionistic style. The initial outcome was his first abstract series, UNTITLED. In 2012 he moved to Cincinnati, OH. He then partnered with Artworks Cincinnati on multiple projects, and in 2014 he founded the Cincinnati Abstract Art Group. Hammond’s work was selected for the Ohio Governor’s Office and Residence Loan Program in 2016 and he has received three purchase awards through the Ohio Percent for Art program. He has had solo exhibitions in AZ, NY, OH and WI and is in public and private collections nationally.

Introducing MX Art World New York @hc_huynh http://www.hcthuynh.com/ ... ✨out of the depths of the ocean your new esteemed being MX Art World New York emerges ✨ "I'm honored and excited to join @missartworld & @klairelockheart in expanding the Miss Art World family. ?" @hc_huynh ---------- on the color blue: "The world is blue at its edges and in its depths. This blue is the light that got lost. Light at the blue end of the spectrum does not travel the whole distance from the sun to us. It disperses among the molecules of the air, it scatters in water. Water is colorless, shallow water appears to be the color of whatever lies underneath it, but deep water is full of this scattered light, the purer the water the deeper the blue. The sky is blue for the same reason, but the blue at the horizon, the blue of land that seems to be dissolving into the sky, is a deeper, dreamier, melancholy blue, the blue at the farthest reaches of the places where you see for miles, the blue of distance. This light that does not touch us, does not travel the whole distance, the light that gets lost, gives us the beauty of the world, so much of which is in the color blue." - Rebecca Solnit ---------- ✨pc + mua: @angelicaasaroo ✨

Artist K Ryan Henisey's work has shown throughout California and debuts internationally in China, 2020. Ryan won an Award of excellence in fine art at the 2015 California State Fair. He currently serves as president of TAG Gallery, an artist cooperative in Los Angeles. As a California-based artist, K Ryan Henisey's work is heavily influenced by the people, culture, and landscape of the Golden State. His personal narrative is often interwoven with mythological subjects, using patterning as a vehicle to make meaning from deconstruction. Their Holiness, Jesus 3.0 is a performance art resurrection from West Hollywood artist, K Ryan Henisey, inspired by the original presence of neighborhood performer Kevin Lee Light (details below). Jesus 3.0 is a secular, pop art reading of the Christ symbol, focusing on messages of contemporary advocacy through fun, kindness, and community. Inspired by the local, West Hollywood community, Jesus 3.0 shares Seven Pillars of Community during his neighborhood wanderings. These pillars mirror the Core Values of the City of West Hollywood. Jesus 3.0 is a semi-collaborative art project, working closely with LGBTQIA+ and WeHo resident costumers, photographers, and artisans. The views expressed by Jesus 3.0 are not reflective of the views of the City of West Hollywood, any of the participating collaborative artists, or other organizations used in advocacy messaging. Jesus 3.0 is a pop art performance. https://kryanhenisey.com/the-hollywood-coming

ibuki-kuramochi.com Born in Japan, Artist IBUKI KURAMOCHI specializes in artworks for exhibition (paintings and media arts), and also specializes in live performances combining her live painting with her Japanese Butoh dance. From 2012, Ibuki started exhibiting works in major cities in Japan, U.S.A.,Taiwan, France, Italy and Australia.She studied Butoh dance at the world renown Kazuo Ohno Butoh Dance Studio in Yokohama in 2016. Through her work, she pursues the physicality of Butoh’s poetic choreography and the pursuit of the human body in anatomy. She visualizes her performance and body movements as two-dimensional works and video works.​ Ibuki explores concepts of the body, thought and physical resonance, metamorphosis, Femininity and fetishism.​ In 2019, Ibuki received a USA O-1 artist visa. She currently resides in Los Angeles. ​Artist Statement Physicality is the key point of my art’s theme. My work exists in various media such as video works, performances and painting works. The body is owned by every human being, but it is different for each person. As anatomist Takeshi Yoro says, "There is nothing more personal than your own body”. Each body is born to and owned by each individual, and is completely original. Also,I have few experiences of sleeping comfortably at night, and I often have nightmares which I remember well after waking up. Most of the nightmares are like a strange, violent and weird film. I believe that these dream experiences have directly influenced my work, and that the visual experiences that I see every night are inevitably the essence of my work. Also, in my dream experience, the "Id" in Sigmund Freud is exposed. (The Id is the primitive and instinctive component of personality. It consists of all the inherited, ((i.e. biological components of personality present at birth)), including the sex ((life)) instinct – Eros ((which contains the libido)), and the aggressive ((death)) instinct - Thanatos.) When I’m creating a video, I consciously discover my own "Id" and output it. In the case of creating my paintings, I subconsciously discover my own "Id" and output it. That process feels like swimming. These subconscious and conscious extracted "Id" have a consistent physicality. I can say that my video work represents the output of Id’s body sensation, and my painting work represents the output of Id’s brain sensation. I’m also inspired by things that involve sexuality such as masculine and feminine, transformation, meltability, and compatibility. Also, the sorcerous elements and attachments in fetishism are like stretching the desires of the body. Sometimes things become a substitute for the body. Also life and death come and go on the side of that fetishism / eroticism. For example, the mind and the body move between the membranes, or the body escapes from the body and materializes. Under the pandemic, all human relationships are now concentrated in the virtual world through the Internet. People’s thoughts, remarks, and lives appear in our vision which forms into photographs, movies, letters, and become a huge timeline. My work evokes and awakens the oblivion of the physical body in the current virtual world.

Join us for a conversation about NFTS (Non-fungible token) and learn why they are taking over the art world. Let us start with the basics: Non-fungible token (NFT) is a unit of data stored on a digital ledger, called a blockchain, that certifies a digital asset to be unique and therefore not interchangeable.[1] NFTs can be used to represent items such as photos, videos, audio and other types of digital files. Access to any copy of the original file, however, is not restricted to the buyer of the NFT. While copies of these digital items are available for anyone to obtain, NFTs are tracked on blockchains to provide the owner with a proof of ownership that is separate from copyright. In 2021 there has been increased interest in using NFTs. Blockchains like Ethereum, Flow, and Tezos have their own standards when it comes to supporting NFTs, but each works to ensure that the digital item represented is authentically one-of-a-kind. NFTs are now being used to commodify digital assets in art, music, sports, and other popular entertainment. Most NFTs are part of the Ethereum blockchain, however other blockchains can implement their own versions of NFTs. The NFT market value tripled in 2020, reaching more than $250 million.[3] The rise of NFT transactions has also led to increased environmental criticism. The computation-heavy processes associated with proof-of-work blockchains, the type primarily used for NFTs, require high energy inputs that are contributing to global warming. The carbon emissions produced by the energy needed to maintain these blockchains has forced some in the NFT market to rethink their carbon footprint. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token

Betsy Enzensberger sculpts works that create a visceral longing and remembrance of the most nostalgic delights from childhood. The artist uses the familiarity of those sweet treats to help us remember the simplicity, value and culture of desserts so often associated with positivity and joy. ‍ Enzensberger was born and raised in New York. She graduated from Tulane University and is now a Los Angeles-based artist with a studio in Mar Vista. She has shown with galleries domestically in Los Angeles, Miami, Des Moines, Dallas and New York, and internationally in Hong Kong, London, Stockholm, Hamburg and Byron Bay, Australia. You can find her sculptures in multiple public and private art collections. Betsy Enzensberger has become quite well known for her realistic, larger-than-life sculptures of dripping, frozen treats. Resin looks like candy. It appears delicious and sweet. The shiny exterior has a wet, melting quality. Her Tragically Sweet series plays with the desires of everyone’s inner child. The lure of sweet, sticky popsicles artificially instills intense longing. The colorful confections practically beg to be rescued and consumed. ‍ “Resin - I love it. It’s beautiful, sexy, mysterious. It’s also toxic, messy, and annoyingly exhausting to create. However, I enjoy the challenges that resin presents. There’s just something about it I can’t resist. If the process was easy, I wouldn’t be doing it.” – Betsy Enzensberger betsyenzensberger.com

Korean American Artist Chuck Hohng was born in Long Beach, California, but spent most of his early life growing up in his family's native home in South Korea. He received his undergraduate degree in Fine Art from the University of Southern California, and received his Master of Fine Arts from acclaimed Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. His work has been exhibited both domestically and internationally including Los Angeles, City of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, San Francisco, Paris, London, Dubai, Osaka, Gwangju, and Busan. Not willing to settle on just one form of media, his art pieces run the gambit from incredibly intricate reductive linoleum prints to giant 10 foot bears composed of drop clothes canvas and balloons, to hauntingly beautiful video imageries. His recent ongoing project Knoxon Dahl, which phonetically means 'Rusted Moon' in Korean, creates objects that reflect his lifestyle aesthetics. From his teddy bears, seeds for the garden, to bespoke Hanbok, traditional Korean attire, Knoxon Dahl spotlights curiosity toward nature, multiculturalism where aspects of different cultures are presented in parallel existence with respect to each element, without hierarchy.
