EP123 - BEASTMAN

Vantagepoint Radio"s tracks ·

2021/02/01

Brad Eastman, better known as Beastman, has spent the past decade cementing his place as a leading figure in the Sydney art scene. Although murals and studio work have always been the core of Eastman’s career, the diversity of his work and output is perhaps his most impressive superpower. His ability to balance high-profile commercial campaigns with international brands against intimate gallery exhibitions and community projects is a skill often overlooked in the art world. In the past 10 years his

EP122 - MODE2

2021/01/01

To say that Mode2 is a pioneer of graffiti is a monumental understatement. His aesthetic in the early 80s and the crews he formed and associated with would influence the way that graffiti and especially graffiti characters would look for the next 40 years. In 1987 his work was chosen to be on the cover of Spaycan Art, a book that would become something of a bible within the graffiti world and helped spread the art form around the globe making Mode2 a household name within the scene. His experience

2020/12/01

Fintan Magee has often been referred to as one of Australia's leading muralists but the truth is he’s been at the top of the heap globally for nearly a decade and gets nothing but the utmost respect from every other painter around the world. Although humans are the central imagery in his somewhat surreal paintings, the thought and meaning behind each piece go far beyond portraiture. With themes touching on a wide range of social and environmental topics Magee’s work is powerful and meaningful

2020/11/01

Born in the Netherlands, raised in Australia, and educated in New York City, the diverse backstory of Kaili Smith parallels the diversity of the work he makes. He first entered the VantagePoint radar a few years ago when his large narrative paintings of urban youth began popping up all over social media. The work had a strength and confidence about it and brilliantly straddled the space between contemporary and classical painting. Upon further investigation however, one quickly realizes that

EP119 - JEFF SOTO

2020/10/01

Southern California legend Jeff Soto found big success in the early 2000’s with his mashup style combining graffiti and illustrative imagery with traditional painting techniques. His very distinctive artistic voice eventually caught the attention of Juxtapoz magazine and in 2004 landed him on the cover which introduced the world outside of California to his work and things really took off from there. High profile gallery shows and murals coinciding with the rise in popularity of street art blogs and

EP118 - AUGUSTINE KOFIE

Vantagepoint Radio"s tracks ·

2020/08/31

The work of Los Angeles based painter Augustine Kofie is visual jazz… an improvised expression of a moment in time, and possibly the artist himself, laid down with a technical precision and delicate subtlety only he is capable of. His paintings are an amalgamation of experiences and influences absorbed over decades of being acutely tuned in to his environment. With no formal training, Kofie found his entrance into the arts through graffiti as a teenager, eventually feeling the limitations of the

2020/08/01

Psychedelic spiritual journeys in the Mexican jungle… beach bumming on the Australian coast… snowy vandal missions blasting 2 story high fire extinguisher tags on Brooklyn rooftops, to ELLE it’s all part of the same story, a mission to compile a life and livelyhood out of a continuous string of momentous adventures. A keen eye will notice the same evolution in her work over the past decade. Years of experimentation and absorbing techniques and ideas has lead ELLE through various stages and styles in

2020/07/01

To hear the full unedited version, visit Vantagepointradio.comThe work of Drew Merritt appears to have been created by the hand of a classically trained painter well versed in the techniques and methods of the Old Masters but the reality of the situation, much like his work, is far more complicated than it seems. Drew’s training and introduction to the arts came through graffiti covered freight trains wizzing past while he sat on horseback in the New Mexico desert. From graffiti to oil paint, Drew’s

EP115 - MICHAEL REEDER

Vantagepoint Radio"s tracks ·

2020/06/01

Michael Reeder is one of the hottest artists in the Urban Contemporary movement at the moment hands down. With roots in graffiti from his upbringing in Dallas Texas paired with a New York City art school education at SVA, Reeder is the perfect example of what the term Urban Contemporary tries to describe. His forward-thinking approach to materials and color schemes combined with a jarringly powerful and recognizable universe of imagery has given him an artistic voice that is entirely unique and

EP114 - RABI

2020/05/01

Entering a room inhabited by RABI is like being beamed up into an alien spacecraft. His energy sucks you in and any attempt to divert your attention is futile. It is unclear at any time whether you should be taking this mysterious character seriously or if you’ve somehow slipped into a parallel universe. His artwork holds the same powers; a mystifying soup of themes and imagery clearly projecting a deeper philosophy wrapped in a clean and polished package, but somehow, like an exquisitely written

2020/04/01

"Deconstructed Pop Art” is the term used by Matt Gondek to describe his work which features familiar cartoon characters in various stages of decay and disarray. His special blend of appropriation and branding have gained him a massive global following especially in Asia. What started as works on canvases and walls has transitioned into 3D vinyl figures and beyond. With a dedicated team of assistants in his glossy downtown LA studio he has established himself as a major player in the collectable new

2020/03/02

Greg ‘Craola’ Simkins has accomplished something that many have attempted but only few have succeeded in doing. He crossed over from the graffiti world into the fine art world with huge success and very little compromise, and in doing so has influenced a generation of artists to attempt to follow his lead. His work is highly sought after and sits in some of the most respectable collections around the globe. His acrylic paintings dance in the space between the real world and the imaginary with an

EP111 - JOHANNES MUNDINGER

Vantagepoint Radio"s tracks ·

2020/02/01

Johannes Mundinger is a staple of the Berlin mural and contemporary art scene. His abstract murals play color against shape while taking influence from the surrounding environment to inform the direction for the artwork during it's creation process. His studio work, much like his murals, can be at times fully experimental and at others more controlled and exact, but almost always feeding off the space in which it is displayed. As a long standing resident of the famous Urban Spree studios in the

EP 110 - FRAU ISA

2020/01/01

Like a cup of coffee on a frosty winter morning in Austria, Frau Isa has a warm and relaxed energy beaming from her that brings a smile to everyone’s face in the room. Her artwork can be described in exactly the same way… subtle, clever, sweet, funny, and distinctively her own. As the only female member of the legendary Weird Crew, Isa rose to fame about 10 years ago when the crew was founded and shot onto the mural scene like a rocket, but her art roots go back much further. In her home town of

EP 109 - THOMAS TURNER

2019/12/01

The surrealist paintings of Atlanta based Thomas Turner depict scenes from the natural world if the laws of physics didn’t apply. Things such as gravity, color, time and space are solely held in Turners control and he alone decides what is or isn’t. Although widely considered a studio painter, Turner has spent the last few years branching out and painting murals with great success, landing big commission jobs around Atlanta including some with the major league sports teams in town. For the past two

2019/09/02

SMUG is, and has been for many years, one of the leaders in the clubhouse when it comes to realistic portrait murals. His output is beyond impressive and the number of murals he paints in a year is almost unbelievable, but to him... "it’s just what I do.” His massive portraits can span anywhere from one story to 14 stories high but the detail and crispness of the image is the same every time. Over decades of painting walls, SMUG has developed a distinctive and immediately recognizable style which is

Daniel Wakeham and Tor Hedendahl are the creative minds and driving forces behind Artscape Festival,. Swedens largest and most visible mural festival has been running for 5 years and is one of the rare festivals that travels from city to city every year rather than continuing operations in the same place every time which would certainly make things far easier. We discuss the highlights and pitfalls that come with putting on such a massive project and what the local communities, organizers and
