Episode 25: Eddie Colla (United States) - "Atavisms"
Lo-Fi Podcast
06/17/20 • 114 min
Eddie Colla is a street artist, curator and photographer based in Oakland, Ca. However, given his love and need for travel, you could possibly say he’s based out of anywhere. His work is a synthesis of street art, collage, assemblage and video that crosses and transcends the barriers between the gallery walls and the public space. Mixing photography, paint, wheatpaste and other materials he picked up working odd jobs in his beginnings, Eddie’s work is a foreboding exploration, and reminder, of possible futures...even more so today.
In this episode, we talk about his beginnings in New Jersey and eventually enrolling in SVA. His then move from to California to attend CCAC in Oakland. We also touch upon his work in the advertising world as a photographer, the transition into his iconic work “Atavisms”, the inexplicable life changes that lead to his love for Paris and much more
In closing we talk about the upcoming online group show he organized with the help of Frederic Steimer, ‘Carpe Diem.’ On Saturday, June 20th.
Eddie attended the School of Visual Arts in New York and graduated from the California College of Arts with a BFA in photography/interdisciplinary fine arts in 1991. He began his artistic career as a photographer, working first for the New York Times and later countless magazines, record labels and ad agencies. 15 years later he has morphed into one who counters the all-pervasive nature of commercialism in public spaces.
Since 2005, his wheat-pastes and stencils can be found throughout public spaces in the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Miami. Eddie's work first began to garner national recognition when his street art began incorporating images of Barack Obama throughout the 2008 Presidential election. His growing popularity landed him attention on internet blogs, features in six published books, and participation in the "Manifest Hope Art Gallery" shows at the 2008 Democratic National Convention and at the Presidential Inauguration in Washington D.C. His designs have been transformed many times over, from stickers, album and magazine covers.

In this episode, I talk with Barcelona based painter Yula Bas. We talk about the Corona Virus and it's effects on Spain, growing up in Russia, coming back to art after an 11-year hiatus and more.
From her website: Born in Moscow in 1986, Yulia's eclectic artistic journey began at a very early age. From studying with a teacher dedicated to old school academicism as a child, she went on to complete a degree in interior design and architecture. Over the past decade, she has established a successful yacht design studio with her partner, relocating to Barcelona and immersing herself in this unique leviathan realm. Every step and outlet has seen her become more fascinated with the human condition, appreciate the capacity and fragility of each of her mediums – paint and pencil, space and light – and learn more about herself. After a decade dedicated to yacht design, Yulia felt a longing to return to the canvas once again. In many ways an artist reborn, her work harnesses her feelings of vulnerability, her acute awareness of her shifting identity. As she undergoes a metamorphosis of self, so too do her subjects through her honest, incomplete rendering.

In this episode, I talk with Cape Town artist Schalk van der Merwe about growing up in South Africa, his journey to full-time artist, process and scale in his works and much more.
From his website: "Schalk van der Merwe is a multidiscipline, visual artist. Born and bred in Cape Town, he went on to study Graphic Design at CPUT. After his studies and fronting indie rock bands Heavy Petals and Polaroid, Schalk was headhunted to join advertising hot-shop, The Jupiter Drawing Room as a junior art director. He left the advertising industry 15 years later as an International award-winning Art Director and later Creative Director to pursuit his Art. Schalk’s visceral portraits have a directness about them, yet are underpinned with a tangible fragility. Ambiguous features can morph from immense beauty into utter despair, with hints of the eyes breaking the surface beneath layers of paint, charcoal, turpentine, expressive brush strokes and often the physical DNA from the artists' fingertips. His work explores the concept of taking the mind out of the creative process to allow for more honest expression. His art captures a vast range of emotions and often provokes a strong reaction from the viewer. “My work is not reliant on a cognitive process. I believe overthinking can destroy originality."

Episode 4: Ricardo Santos (Mexico)
Lo-Fi Podcast
10/31/19 • 78 min
Plastic artist based in Mexico City. His work covers multiple disciplines, such as digital graphics, painting, drawing and sculpture, but he is especially dedicated to exploring drawing, experimenting with different materials, supports, processes and aesthetic and formal solutions. His work shows a clear obsession to structure the anatomy of animals and people as if it were a functional and harmonious architectural space. His paintings are a mental logbook, usually based on portraits inspired by personal, social situations, the study of anatomy, as well as the identity, borders, roots and belonging of people with spaces, structuring the strokes as if they were gears that build a larger machinery, building true visual maps with the image of the bodies.
Ricardo Santos is a graduate of the Faculty of Arts of the Autonomous University of Chihuahua (2002-2007). His work has been exhibited in exhibition and outreach spaces such as Affordable Art Fair Mexico, Gallery Weekend, Roma-Condesa Cultural Corridor.
