21st Century Underground

On today's episode, we go deep into issues such as creative obstacles, personal insecurities, and overall mental health, most specifically, how these relate to and harm or help the creative process.  We discuss artists and public figures whose stories have affected us, and finally open up about our own issues, struggles, and, gasp! EMOTIONS.

Joining us in the studio today is a virtuoso artistic talent, our very good friend, Papay Solomon. As a Phoenix-based painter, Papay Solomon has been working hard to mythologize and empower the narrative of African immigrants living in the West, through his bold and electrifying portraits. Solomon will be presenting his much deserved first solo exhibition, “African for the First Time” at the Joseph Gross Gallery in Tucson, AZ on February 13th at 4pm. 

You can find Papay Solomon's work at his website www.papaysolomon.com or his IG @PapaySolomon Follow us at @21stCenturyUndergroud

The guys peel back the layers of the creative process and talk influences! Not just any influences, but ones that came at pivotal times in each of their lives and pushed the envelope of they thought possible...And if that doesn’t do it for you, Salvatore is literally under the influence of about 3 cups of extra strong coffee this episode.

It’s a New Years Day extravaganza! While you nurse a hangover a decade in the making and recoil at the dawning realization of a new tax season, take a look back with the guys as they reminisce over the past 10 years of art and entertainment.
