  • Thoughts on Odd Nerdrum, Kitsch Painting, & Nic Thurman
    In this video we discuss and react to a video made by Kitsch Painter, Nic Thurman, an artist, content creator, and student of famed artist, Odd Nerdrum. Nic's video argues that the true roots of modernist philosophy in art stem from the writings of Kant & Hegel, something Thurman sees as harmful to the art world. He believes that the best way to think about art is with Aristotelian philosophy. Watch the original video through this link.

    Bio sourced from the artist's website:
    https://www.nicthurman.com/about

    "Nic Thurman is an American kitsch painter. He is concerned with sentimental and timeless motifs that tell stories about the human condition.

    He has exhibited across the United States and Norway.

    From 2014 - 2017 he studied as a pupil of Jeremy Caniglia. In 2018 Thurman became a pupil of Odd Nerdrum and studied in his studios, in Norway and Sweden, for over 2 years. Thurman is a founding member of the foremost classical painting group in Scandinavia, The Memorosa Group. He is currently living and working between the United States and Scandinavia."

  • Sarah Guerin (Saboteuse) - Bootmaking, Leatherwork
    In which Theo & Brian visit the studio of Sarah Guerin and discuss the traditional art of bookmaking.


    "Artist and Bootmaker, I established Saboteuse in 2015 where I am resurrecting a vernacular bootmaking practice in a Ten Footer Boot Shop. Each boot design is unique and deliberate, raised up from raw materials with a thorough knowledge of craft and tradition. What sets my boots apart is my art and design training, you can easily spot a Saboteuse boot from the unique designs and my high-standards of craftsmanship. I also periodically make art using bootmaking techniques and find those moments to enhance my client-based bootwork." - Sarah

    Sarah is a French/American bootmaker, architect, Master knitter, and mother. She is fluent in English, French, and Italian.
