#65 with Jameson Green (Part 2)

Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for Artists.

My guest returning today is Jameson Green. Jameson is a New York-based painter whose work is in collections at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Pérez Art Museum Miami. He's exhibited with Derek Eller Gallery and Almine Rech in New York, Paris, London, and Brussels.

On last week's episode, Jameson and I discussed the three elements of great painting, drawing, sampling from art books and other paintings, rhythm, abstraction, narrative, and a lot of other fascinating topics, so you'll definitely want to check that one out first.

On today's show, we get right back into it. I asked Jameson about his figure-ground relationships and the horizon line, and he told me about theater, German Expressionism, and flattening space. Jameson talks about color choices, different kinds of lines, studio flow, painting big and drawing with your body, his studio routine, and how he's built a practice around avoiding the worst of himself. He also discusses "healthy vs. brutal Jameson," how an organized practice is good for relationships, and how to keep the darkness of your studio from creeping out into the rest of your life.
