Master artist/conversationalist Julien Nguyen describes painting, rigor, and the pursuit of re-enchantment in the 21st century. How to put forth attention to craft without reducing it to formal equations. Temporality changing in modernity, Simone Weil, Lucien Freud, Francis Fukuyama, Velazquez, and the resonance of art making while civilization crumbles, deeper investigations. Technology will not free us, the utilitarian model is breaking.

"There's a kind of Ecstacy in Horror". Highly relevant, and recorded in person in Julien's studio in Fairfax District, Los Angeles.
