This is an insightful conversation about art, as we listen to the art dealer and artist explore topics of art and creativity. This also covers Guffogg’s current solo exhibition, “The One Picture Show” at GrossArt at SPACE 1028 located in East Hollywood. The dialogue explores the colossal 7-foot by 9-foot painting, “At the Still Point of the Turning World – Only Through Time is Time Conquered” and how Guffogg arrived at this massive painting and everything else along the way. The two share keynotes about other works in the exhibition.

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. https://www.shaneguffogg.com
