Painting in Motion Liz Layton

This week, we talk to figurative symbolic painter and illusionary fiber artist, Ruby Hoppen!  Ruby shares about life as an artist and mother in Australia during the time of COVID, as well as her childhood art-making experiences, and what art school was like in Montreal. Her art discussion picks (Peter jackson's film, Heavenly Creatures and Hans Holbein's painting, The Ambassadors) have incredible connections to her childhood and the symbolism within her own multifacted work.

Natalie Baxter is a prolific visual artist who has worked within filmmaking, fiber, and sculpture.  Her most recent work, currently being created at her residency with the Wassaic Project in upstate New York, is an introspective view into the inner life of staying home, and the public displays that may be shared from these experiences, vs. the kind of attention  or treatment caregivers and homemakers receive in real life, in person. 

We talk about Southern cities, studio processes, what it feels like to be an artist during this strange era.  And, because the holidays in America are in full swing, of course we talk about the Dolly Parton Smokey Mountain Christmas Special. 

For more on Natalie's work, see her artist site: http://www.nataliebaxter.com/  and follow her at @nattybax .

This week on Painting in Motion, we share part 2 with our guest, filmmaker and musician, Brad Eastridge. 

In the conclusion of this conversation, Eastridge shares about one of his favorite works by the figurative painter, Francis Bacon, and the overlap between his work and the imagery from the esoteric 1984 film, Birdy. Brad also spotlights the purposeful cubist references that occur in the making of this movie, including lead actor Matthew Modine's take on calling Nic Cage, "a cubist performer," and the variety of experimental stylistic choices and moods created by director Alan Parker.
