Maybe Ron Hicks should start a school about how to find our own truth❤! Fantastic interview!!! Worth a 2nd, 3rd listen to take in all the goodness 💕
When he said alot of his faces are from imagination i was actually blown away just wow!
Thanks Jeff great podcast. Yes, we did simultaneous contrast in a university art class using colors from a color pack.
The truth about color is that it’s all relative to what’s next to it .
Rather a Zen moment in my life !❤👍
I don’t know why UA-cam decided to offer this diamond in a pile of other videos. It’s an answer to my unuttered prayers. Thank you ❤
Great 👍
Again what an interesting conversation! Thank you!
I wish I had heard the Hicks philosophy many years ago. Wonderful stuff and great interview!
Thanks for listening
Outstanding interview Jeff ! Thank you for sharing and having Ron Hicks on 👍🏿
Another episode to binge 🔥
Great to hear Ron's history and see his work!
What a genius he is! Such a great conversation. Thanks for sharing this Jeff!
Another wonderful podcast!
Glad I tuned in! Amazing❤Thank you😊
It’s so interesting how in higher levels of any art, the intuitive is what artists point to or suggest that that is what’s required to tap into. Whether it’s painting or music or dance or what have you. I used to be big into martial arts and a big admirer of Bruce Lee. Believe it or not he was a highly evolved human being. He echoed a great many of the things that Ron has discovered for himself and is trying to impart. How man, or the creative human individual is more important than any crystallized or established system or style.
I’m butchering this quote from BL but as I recall it’s something like:
Learn the form.
Create the form.
Perfect the form.
Dissolve the form.
Abandon the form.
Loved this conversation.
Thanks for interviewing Ron Hicks. Love your podcast. Thanks
Crazy good man!
I Absolutely 💯 needed this, thanks 🙏 very grateful for this interview
I LOVE these interviews and this one is so important. thanks. I am unable to be a patron now but will if ever I can and meanwhile thank all those who are able! Deeply appreciative.
Finding your own artist truth in your work I completely identify with. If somebody else enjoys it too more the better. I don't need to earn an art living so I'm enjoying freedom in retirement to find my art and really enjoying not feeling the need to be accepted by contests, galleries, or collectors. Guess what he's right about this. Success is found through freedom and personal truth. Paint with conviction and learn from a bold approach.
Becoming a patron on payday. Thank you for this. As an artist working to become professional these are very encouraging.
Thanks so much for the support!
i've been waiting for this interview for so long.. Thanks again..
Amazing videos! Perfect for background sound ,when painting!
damn jeff youre too humble. give yourself some credit.. your paintings are amazing!!! but appreciate that people as good as you stay humble.. role model!
Thanks man! I know I can paint but I’m hungry to be better.
I really relate to Ron's perspective. For me, It's been a long somewhat brutal journey to find out why I do what I do and master that. I started out in realism especially portraiture. But I really wanted to explore something different and so I practiced abstraction. I have come full circle to using the figure to express a fluid abstract concept. It's like a rabbit hole that leads you back to where you began. But with texture and substance that may not have been there before. This is how I see truth. It's substantial and fulfilling. It's gritty and raw. But it's also our lifeblood as artists. The seed of this tree called art. To be an artist we have to know the rules in order to break them. It seems to me, that artists who capture the truth element without the structural components ceate art that doesn't have a lot of tooth. It's kind of the one hit wonder thing in art.
This is one of the meatiest conversations to date. Thank you, Jeff and Ron for this great melding of ideas. I too believe firmly and with personal conviction that the fundamentals must be balanced during the teaching process with the exploration of "self" choices. Kudo's to you both for this much needed insight.
These have been great guests, I think all of them hint at some things about learning to walk in your own footsteps, everyone arrives there differently. Of course there is a philosophical under pining in all of these conversations which is a kind of dialogue of Aristotle vs Kant, Kant being the modernist who seeks to have an individual and unique mark and yet as artists throw themselves into a realm of classical education of discipline because we don't yet know how to represent our visions. Ron is very interesting in that he seems to combine these seemingly opposing views and says do them both. I once heard Steven Assael say that Art isn't a choice between this or that - say Abstraction/Modernity and Classical realism, it's a love affair. You can totally like and appreciate both and derive great things from both camps. We have been taught that Modernism is the Antithesis of Classical, but why is this the thought still? All Art is truly rooted in abstraction, realism needs to pass through an abstract process and the more we know about this the better we get at realism in fact. The idea of having hard separations would be like saying you can't like bananas if you like chocolate which is absurd, but apply it to art and you get the point. I think personally all of it is good or can be, we may be robbing ourselves, culturally from some kind of painting renaissance if we believe that we must exist in an artistic echo chamber in order to produce things worth looking at. Anyway, awesome podcast! Such good topics, I really particularly enjoyed Adam Miller and Ron.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment!
I wish someday I could support your podcast because anytime I about to quit your podcast give me a new perspective.
❤thank!
Ron Hicks is awesome. That is all.
So much to say ..... & ....so much can not be said. Sad.
