Shane Guffogg: Blue

In this episode, Shane and I meet on Zoom to explore the current exhibition titled, Shane Guffogg: "Blue" on Western Avenue in Hollywood, With me in the gallery space and Shane at his ranch in Central Valley we meticulously do a "deep dive" into the paintings and the topic of transcendence. Shane further describes "being." This is an enlightening talk about the essence of life and the artist's process painting.

Shane Guffogg is an American artist who looks through the lens of humanity at civilizations, both past, and present, and views time as threads that connect all people. His work is a visual language that is informed by the spiritualism of abstraction and the realism of the old masters. These two ideas are usually seen as separate but Guffogg fuses them seamlessly into works that transcend and become testaments to thoughts that inform us of who we are in the 21st century.
