A one-off video cathartic where I rant about the recent history of the failure of the Maple Leafs, the experiment of "new hockey" and it's startling parallels with the decline of Canada over the last 10 years, forgive me if I got certain hockey history details wrong.

On this exciting art-driven VISUAL episode of Content Minded, I explore what I term the modern painters of light. I go over the works of California abstract landscape painter Richard Diebenkorn, the Italian-American abstract expressionist Giorgio Cavallon and some of my favourite Canadian artists like Lawren Harris and Takao Tanabe. In the Full version I also go more into abstract painting, a new essay on the art world by Alex Adams, and more importantly I critique a vicious and shameful attack on the Group of Seven by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Please subscribe today on either Patreon or Substack for only $5 a month to help keep this good content coming, and also consider purchasing one of my artworks on my website (all links below!) it really helps me out.

Apologies for a bit of an absence, but Painting Discourse is BACK.

On this episode of Painting Discourse, I come across three rusty chairs leaning up against a birch tree in a wooded field that provided a pretty good visual challenge to paint. I talk about plein air painting and phenomenology, as well as a quote describing the works of Van Gogh from the Deleuze and Guattari book "Anti-Oedipus". There is also a version of this video on my Substack.

On this special Solo episode of Content Minded, I am back with a lengthy discussion on the possible future of AI technologies as they relate to culture, post-humanism and the fate of civilization. One theory in particular posits that a logical outcome of these technologies will trend towards entropy and decay rather than something that can harness true creative potentials. I talk about AI spirituality vs. the “lotus eater” theory of the future, and review a recent interview from Architechnonics with Nick Land.

On this Painting Discourse video, I paint an early winter study of a dilapidated bridge on location while talking about some aspects of abstract or non-objective painting falling out of favour in the art world, and it’s significance in the 20th and 21st centuries. As well as my love for abstract-expressionism.
