About this episode

Joy and Teresa discuss various cultural and artistic trends, including plein air painting and maximalism, while also featuring guest Arthur Hash who incorporates 3-D modeling in his jewelry practice.

The resurgence of plein air painting, over-the-top maximalism, visibility of the artist’s hand laid bare in finished work, the way museums treat sensitive subjects--Joy and Teresa look at cultural and artistic trends, extending the topic all the way into the Gen X segment and debating whether any 80s trends should return. “The Last Thing I Wrote” segment comes back, bringing with it roadkill and an eerie take on the neighborhood reaction to the HOA. The episode ends with a look at the creator and ArtsyTypes Instagram follower, Arthur Hash, who uses 3-D modeling in his jewelry practice with wonderful results. ~Show Notes and References~ Plein Air Painting Flourishes in the Adirondacks Schiaparelli's The Agony and the Ecstasy Collection The New Surrealism: On AI and Hallucinations The History of Atari Jeweler Arthur Hash This is a public episode.
