Aaron Glasson (b Auckland, 1983) is a New Zealand born multi-disciplinary artist based in Mexico, City. Since completing a Bachelor's degree in Art and Design at the Auckland University of Technology in 2005 he has been exhibiting and creating public art works internationally. His diverse portfolio consists of participatory installations, paintings, drawings, sculpture, architecture, assemblage, murals and film.
Though working in a diverse array of mediums Aaron has developed an abstract visual language that unifies his practice as a whole. His paintings rooted in geometry but inspired by time spent in the wilderness offer glimpses into micro and macro environments. Similar forms are applied to large scale interactive site-specific installations that encourage viewer engagement and participation as well as functional objects that explore arts practical potential outside of traditional contexts.
Aaron has worked as an artist extensively within numerous environmentalism efforts, community organizations and educational institutions, using his art as tool for connection and learning. His art has been in group exhibitions at the East Hawaii Museum of Contemporary Art, the Oceanside Museum of Art, Heron Arts, Maia Contemporary, Goodmother Gallery, Spoke Art, the Straat Museum along with solo exhibitions at ICA San Diego, Swish Projects, Louis Buhl & Co, Maia Contemporary and Curators Cube.

Episode 444 / Larry Madrigal is a Mexican-American painter based in Phoenix, Arizona. Originally from Los Angeles, where his parents stayed after migrating from Mexico, Madrigal spent many of his early summers in Colima where his extended family lives. In 1998, during his elementary years, his family left California and moved to Phoenix where they remain to this day. Madrigal studied at Arizona state University and received his BFA in 2017. During this time, he developed a skill for traditional figurative and portrait painting through his close relationship with emeritus professor, Jerry Schutte, and his wife Anne Schutte. Jerry’s strong knowledge of figurative and landscape painting combined with Anne’s masterful sense of abstraction and gesture were significant influences. After graduation Madrigal continued in portraiture for several years culminating in his first museum group exhibition “Body Language: Figuration in Modern and Contemporary Art” at the Tucson Museum of Art in 2016.
In 2017, Madrigal returned to ASU for his MFA. Besides this new venture, he and his wife decided to start a family, and his daughter was born two weeks before the start of the program. Madrigal’s initial artistic ambitions were thwarted by the new and urgent demands of parenthood. He inevitably found himself paying close attention to daily rhythms with more profound questions. Finally after two years of resisting, he eventually surrendered to this calling and moved towards a focus on the quotidian. The commonplace became his arena for painting, a strong move away from the current focus on identity politics prevalent in academia at that time.This newly found obsession with the mundane led Madrigal on a quest to rehabilitate the genre in it’s purest form. His work would now be marked by “a suspension and celebration of the precariousness by which our most mundane daily rituals are balanced on a precipice just above total anarchy.” — Ben Lee Ritchie Handler, Global Director Nicodim Gallery.
During his MFA Madrigal was a three-time recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Artist Grant and a finalist in the AXA XL Art Prize. Six months after graduation in 2020, Madrigal had his first solo exhibition, “Scattered Daydream” at Nicodim Gallery in Los Angeles. Since then, he has had solo shows in New York, Los Angeles, Bucharest, and Madrid (Forthcoming), along with group shows in Paris, Tokyo, and Tel Aviv.
Madrigal’s paintings have continued to focus on the relatable nature of the human experience from his earnest and contemplative perspective, adopting a sincere attitude towards figuration, with a touch of darkness and humor.
He currently lives in Phoenix Arizona with his wife and two kids, and works out of his downtown studio. -
Episode 443 / ANDREW SIM (b. 1987, Glasgow) lives and works in New York. They work across drawing and painting, often utilising their favoured medium of pastel in large-scale figurative pieces.

Andrew has shown at The Modern Institute, Karma, NY, Margot Samel, Summerhall in Edinburgh, Anton Kern and other venues. Andrew’s work has been covered in The Scotsman, The New York Times, Art Observed and more.

Episode 437 / Yoora Lee (b.1990) was born in South Korea and currently lives and works in Los Angeles. She graduated with her M.F.A in Painting and Drawing from school of the Art institute of Chicago in 2020. Her paintings are filled with analogous color relationships and wavering horizontal marks that imagine an impressionism derived from video tape distortion. Lee’s brush strokes blur the picture like an analog TV glitch, undulating the image as though from an obsolete technology. The unreal color provokes a sense of fantasy, reminding people of brief moments when life felt like a movie or drama. Lee’s images evoke a nostalgia of the recent past, as grainy VHS grade images meet the retro mood. The power of nostalgia, both romantic and empty, manipulates the viewers’ minds and emotions through imperfect memories. Her work has been exhibited internationally including Los Angeles, New York and Italy.

Episode 435 / Jacqueline Surdell was born and raised in Chicago, IL. She reimagines the woven canvas as a space of undulation and growth. As the expanded histories of painting materialize in her work as content, simultaneously, swollen tendrils and textures of bound rope deny illusions of the classically painted picture plane. The works actively work to bridge the division between painting and sculpture. In this way, her work calls into association other binary categorizations such as rigid and collapsed, construction techniques coded as masculine or feminine, and ontological spaces between body and sculpture.
She has an MFA in Fiber and Material Studies from the Art Institute of Chicago and a BFA from Occidental College in LA. She’s shown in venues such as Gallery Common in Tokyo, Devening Prijects in Chicago, Library Street Collective in Detroit, Patricia Sweetow Gallery in San Francisco, the South Bend Museum of Art and many more.
Her work has been covered in the Chicago Tribune, Detroit Art Review, New City, DesignMilk and more.
