Description
https://Art2Life.com - I'm always trying to take time in my practice to experiment. It's always about figuring out what it is, or where I might go next. When I do, it's so satisfying. It reinvigorates my art-making. I love the idea of letting curiosity lead the way. What if your art was entirely experimenting? What if learning and curiosity were the primary informers of your art? How cool would that be? Meet Jaq Chartier. She is a Seattle-based artist fascinated by experimenting with pigments, dyes, and color. She explores how paint and stains behave in the moment and over time. Her art, consisting of catalog formal-like presentations of color tests, is beautifully offset by her saturated, soft, and hard-edged color stains. Her art is non-objective, but one can't help feeling the universality, the grand scale of the force of Nature in her gorgeous art. Join me now for this fascinating conversation with Jaq. I think it will make you rethink your relationship with experimentation and curiosity. ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… How Jaq Chartier found her art and the power of curiosity [2:18] Removing our hands from the canvas and diving into discomfort [14:04] The bigness of Jaq's work and deciding which pieces make the cut [20:06] The mysterious force that is color and the role it plays in Jaq’s art practice [30:01] Creating an art installation for Microsoft and working on a massive scale [38:20] Using curiosity and surprise as a roadmap for art-making and the experience of women in the art world [41:16] Jaq’s incredible advice for any artist [49:41 ================================ RESOURCES MENTIONED Fire in the Crucible: Understanding the Process of Creative Genius (Book): https://www.amazon.com/Fire-Crucible-Understanding-Process-Creative/dp/1890482773 ================================= CONNECT WITH JAQ CHARTIER Website: http://jaqbox.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jaqchartier/ ============================= CONNECT WITH NICHOLAS WILTON AND ART2LIFE: Get the Free COLOR TIPS PDF: https://workshop.art2life.com/color-tips-pdf-podcasts/ Follow the Sunday Art2Life Vlog: https://art2life.lpages.co/sign-up-for-the-a2l-vlog/ Follow Nicholas Wilton's Art on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicholaswilton/ Follow Art2Life on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art2life_world/?hl=en Like on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/art2lifeworld Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe8dJWKgPKkW4W3fsb1vLeg

The Art of Memory - Bill Armstrong - Ep 49: - Why does a memory always seem a little blurry and slightly soft-edged when we look back in time? It feels like reality. It is familiar but oddly just beyond our grasp. Memories are places beyond the veil of presence that are wonderfully and not so... by Art2Life
