Entitlement to Wilderness with Abstract Painter Matt Coombs.

Entitlement to Wilderness with Abstract Painter Matt Coombs.

How do you feel about the wilderness? Does it belong to everyone or is it only for special people? With me today we have New York-based abstract painter Matt Coombs whose paintings and drawings depict a fluidity between the natural environment, the figure and the synthetic. One of the fascinating aspects of Matts's practice is his willingness to seek the sublime in an augmented “nature”,  so much of the imagery used comes from his upbringing in the Burned Over District of Upstate NY a region known for a wave of apocalyptic Christian movements in the early Nineteenth Century and was the birthplace of Spiritualism and the American fascination with seances and spirits. Matt's paintings a language to better understand the ghost of the past and our entitlement to the landscape that blurred over from this history.

We talk about religion in the contemporary atmosphere, the art world and how it is affected by the wave of environmentalism and also some of his motivations and paintings.

The case for Artistic Freedom

The case for Artistic Freedom

Welcome to the third episode of Insights of an Eco Artist. Today, I will talk about something I believe to be of extreme importance - artistic freedom that correlates with freedom of expression and speech.

In light of current events, with individual rights being jeopardized worldwide, I want to stretch the importance of such rights on the quality of life of individuals and societies. Artistic freedom is the freedom to imagine, create and distribute various cultural expressions free of political interference, governmental censorship, or the pressures of non-state parties. Despite artistic freedom being political, individual charged, controversial and sometimes being too close for comfort, raising questions we would rather not answer. Still, freedom to create and enjoy these creations are an integral part of the rights of individuals.

Meet the Host

Welcome to the first episode of insights of an eco-artist. I am your host Joana Alarcão . I thought for the first episode I would do a small introduction of myself, why I started this podcast and put myself in the spotlight, and answer some of the pressing questions I ask my guests.

Thank you for joining. I hope you will learn as much as I do and join in for the next one.
