Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for Artists:
Today we conclude our 3-part conversation with the artist Jeff Way. Jeff has lived and worked in New York’s Tribeca neighborhood since 1969. Featured in the 1973 Whitney Biennial and a subsequent solo exhibition, Way’s work has been shown at institutions like the New Museum, the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston, and the ICA Philadelphia. His innovative Chalk Line Paintings, begun in the late 1960s, explore the grid through layered lines of raw pigment, a technique he revisits in his most recent Eccentric Squares series. Jeff’s solo exhibition, Then and Now: 1970 to 2024 opened earlier this year with Storage Gallery in New York and was featured in The New York Times and the Brooklyn Rail.
In this week’s episode, I talk with the Jeff about his journey through expectations and his artistic growth, favorite exhibitions and the importance of continuity, and the ways in which teaching often intersected with his practice. We also discuss his advice for young artists and what makes a good critique.Enjoy this conversation with the artist Jeff Way.

Today on the podcast we continue our conversation with Jeff Way, an artist who has lived and worked in New York’s Tribeca neighborhood since 1969. Featured in the 1973 Whitney Biennial and a subsequent solo exhibition there, Way’s work has been shown at institutions like the New Museum, the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston, and the ICA Philadelphia. His innovative Chalk Line Paintings, begun in the late 1960s, explore the grid through layered lines of raw pigment, a technique he revisits in his recent Eccentric Squares series. With works in major museum collections, including the Whitney and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Way continues to push the boundaries of color, form, and dimensionality.
In part two of my conversation with Jeff Way, we delve deeper into the influences and processes that have shaped his artistic career. Jeff reflects on the importance of community and collaboration, sharing how these connections have impacted his work over the years. We discuss his early successes, the confidence they inspired, and how he’s navigated both praise and criticism throughout his career. With thoughtful reflections on his legacy, Jeff offers a candid look at the highs and lows of a lifetime dedicated to art.

Happy Thanksgiving and welcome back to another episode of ARTMATTERS!
Today on the podcast we start our conversation with Jeff Way, an artist who has lived and worked in New York’s Tribeca neighborhood since 1969. Featured in the 1973 Whitney Biennial and a subsequent solo exhibition there, Way’s work has been shown at institutions like the New Museum, the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston, and the ICA Philadelphia. His innovative Chalk Line Paintings, begun in the late 1960s, explore the grid through layered lines of raw pigment, a technique he revisits in his recent Eccentric Squares series. With works in major museum collections, including the Whitney and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Way continues to push the boundaries of color, form, and dimensionality.
On this episode we discuss Jeff's return to his early ideas and techniques, tracing how his style has evolved through changing mediums and approaches. Jeff shares insights into the balance between precision and mistakes in his process, the role of collage and masking tape in his work, and the transparency and layering of color that define his signature aesthetic. We also discuss how he embraces both mess and finesse in his art. From his early artistic influences to his current exploration of grids and eccentric forms, this conversation offers a compelling look into the life and work of a masterful painter and thinker.

A graduate of the Slade School of Fine Arts, Epstein has held residencies at prestigious institutions like the British School at Rome. His work has appeared in publications such as the New York Times and Hyperallergic, and he is currently an artist-in-residence at the Sharpe Walentas Studio Program in Brooklyn, NY.
Today we dive into more of Marks artistic practice starting with flexible tape and it’s role in creating borders that carry cultural and compositional weight. We discussed the intimidation of starting a new work, the rhythm and tempo of an artist process and the transformative impact of critiques. This conversation also touches on the books that inspire studio practice, advice for acrylic painters and some thoughtful guidance for younger artists navigating their creative journeys.

Today’s conversation delves into Mark’s artistic development, beginning with his transition from working on paper to using foam and epoxy clay. He describes his process of creating frames using foam, epoxy, and a proprietary gesso mix, and his eventual shift to Aqua resin and fiberglass for larger works. Epstein emphasizes the importance of maintaining a playful, improvisational approach while balancing durability and vulnerability in his work. He also discusses the challenges and joys of his "fabrication season," where he creates panels without even initially envisioning the final paintings.

Interview with The Studio Visit
Interview with The Semi-Finalist -
Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for Artists.
My guest today is Ebtisam Abdulaziz. Ebtisam is a multidisciplinary artist and writer. She explores issues of identity and culture through installation, performance, mixed-media, painting and works on paper. She has exhibited extensively and internationally including the 53rd Venice Biennale as part of the United Arab Emirates and Abu Dhabi Pavilions. Her installations, paintings, works on paper and videos are held in numerous public and private collections.Her video work Autobiography from 2007 was purchased for the Guggenheim Museum collection in Abdu Dhbai. Additionally Abdulaziz was named as one of 100 Powerful Arab Women of 2013. She has been living and working in Washington, D.C. since 2014.
In our conversation, Ebtisam explains her art-making as a mix of meditation, play and practicality. We discuss her drawings, her mentor Hassan Sharif, her daily practice, how her practice relates to her audience, how she judges ideas only after they are complete, and so much more. Enjoy the show!
About Ebtisam Abdulaziz:
Combining the scientific with the arbitrary, Abdulaziz draws from her training in science and mathematics, methodically exploring subconscious states and the expansiveness of daily life. She creates codes, systematic structures, graphic language, and performative gestures to force viewers to question their assumptions about rules in the natural and formulaic world. The intimate juxtapositions of these concepts center awareness on our surrounding environment and the issues that perplex and shape us.
In addition to the Venice Biennale, Ebtisam Abdulaziz's work has been exhibited at the 7th and 10th Sharjah Biennial, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates; Dubai Next, Basel; The Institut du Monde Arabe, Paris, France; The Kunst Museum, Bonn, Germany; The Mori Art Museum, Tokyo, Japan; Benin Biennial 2012, Kora Centre, Benin; FotoFest Biennial, Art in Houston, Texas; Cara Gallery; Smack Mellon gallery in New York; NYUAD Art Gallery; Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts; Tampa; American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center.

Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for Artists.
On today’s episode I speak with Joe Hollier. Joe is a multi-disciplinary artist from Brooklyn. He is also the co-founder of The Light Phone.
Joe and I met back in the day, participating in group shows around Brooklyn. Back then i knew him as a collage artist, who was also hard at work on a mysterious plastic gadget. That gadget turned out to be The Light Phone, a simple phone that makes calls and helps keep distractions to a minimum.
I actually picked up a Light Phone earlier this year and much later put 2 and 2 together that this was Joe’s project. So I looked Joe up and asked if he’d like to sit down with me sometime and talk about art and life and phones. He said “yes.” Here’s my conversation with Joe Hollier.
Joe Hollier studied design at the School of Visual Arts. He is a filmmaker, designer, director, and entrepreneur. He likes to make stop animations, collages, patterns and drawings, music videos, documentaries, and books.

I’m recording this intro from Washington DC where I’m rounding up a couple last interviews of the tour. It’s been a great trip so far and I’m very excited to share these conversations with you later this summer.
On today’s episode i speak to LA-based artist Georgina Clapham. I met Georgina on the PLOP artist residency in London back in 2018 and I was very excited to hear she had moved to LA to get her Masters at Otis College of Art and Design, which is where we sat down for this interview.
Today we talk humor, finishing touches, allowing for discomfort, change, and what it feels like before change, stagnation and the return of joy and passion, seeing yourself in a painting, making yourself more available, new tools, the vulnerability of drawing, working unmonitored and a lot more.
Georgina Clapham was born in Somerset, England. She has previously attended City and Guilds of London Art School, and The Glasgow School of Art. In 2015 she was awarded The Richard Ford Travel Scholarship to draw at the Prado Museum, Madrid, Her work has been exhibited across the UK and internationally, holding her debut solo show, ‘Mythologies and Metamorphoses,’ at Triumph Gallery, Moscow in 2018.
Enjoy this conversation with the artist Georgina Clapham.
