DLG192 A fav young artist Colin Radcliffe is having a solo show. And Noah Becker talks about artist parties he’s throwing on the rooftop of the Jane Hotel.

59 minutes

The first half of this session I spend time with 25 year old artist COLIN RADCLIFFE http://www.colinjradcliffe.com/ who is about to have a solo show at Equity Gallery in Manhattan. I am a huge fan of Colin’s so there is some fawning on my part which he handles well. Colin's work is particularly compelling because the emotional quality is so complex. Here are some adjectives: funny, quirky, weird, gross, beautiful, charming, repulsive, magical, pan-sexual, pan-racial (including/not limited to) races from other planets. His work is developed out of his personal relationships. DO NOT MISS his show!!
