In today's episode, we discuss the meaning surrounding Guffogg's painting series, "Sapere Aude" (Dare to Know), and what prompted the artist to explore science, philosophy, and more in order to shape this body of work. We also have a deep talk about the Information Age and why ‘Sapere Aude’ (dare to know or dare to be wise) is such an important topic in the ever-changing face of humanity.
Shane Guffogg is an American artist that 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.
