EP164-INSANE 51
1 JUL 2024 · Insane51 has developed a mind bending painting style that incorporates double exposure images painted exclusively in red and blue (pink and cyan to be exact) showing two images at once. When viewed through a red or blue filter, like the two lenses of traditional 1950’s style 3D movie glasses, the viewer is able to isolate parts of the painting while everything else becomes invisible. By flipping back and forth between the red and blue filters one is able to see two different images in his art. Although he was not the fist to play with this trick of light and color, Insane51 harnessed the illusion in a very interesting and unique way, by turning the red and blue 3d glasses into an X-Ray machine. Focusing mainly on human portraiture, his figures beautifully painted in one color seem to be unaware that their inner skeletal structure illuminates out to the viewer in the opposite color. His instantly recognisable murals are in high demand and have taken him around the globe and back numerous times and gained him a monstrous following on social media with over 400,000 followers on instagram alone. Never satisfied however, Insane51 is always looking to take his art to the next level wether through interesting collaborations with established commercial brands or moving his personal work into new materials and dimensions.

EP163-ADNATE
1 JUN 2024 · One of Australia’s most recognisable muralist and contemporary artists Adnate, has managed to thread a needle that few other artists have been able to pull off with such grace. As a non-native person, Adnate’s paintings and large scale murals focus mainly on indigenous people and culture, a combination with inherent potential for conflict or misstep. His sensitive approach and altruistic intent however, are such that over the past decade of creating art on these themes, he has been embraced by Australia’s First Nations people as well as indigenous people beyond Australian borders. By working together with communities, collaborating with indigenous artists, raising funds, asking questions and most importantly listening, Adnate has endeared himself to the culture and continues to promote ideas of acceptance and empowerment through his work. His skill painting portraiture is undeniable and the scale of his work, sometimes reaching heights of 20-25 stories, leaves no doubt of his excellence and with highly sought after studio paintings and countless murals still to come, Adnate’s future continues to be bright.

EP162-SOFLES
1 MAY 2024 · To hear the full unedited version, visit https://vantagepointradio.com/podcast/ep-162-sofles/
To see someone paint a graffiti piece with no prior planning and no sketch and have it turn out really good at the end is impressive no matter how familiar you are with writing graffiti. But to paint a large scale mural from a lift with no sketch, no plan, using both hands, and filming yourself while you do it… and have it turn out really good and proportionally accurate… that’s other worldly. Sofles is a cyborg. There’s no other way to explain it. A well oiled machine that can paint anything in almost any style, with speed, confidence, and accuracy. The plethora of videos on his YouTube page and all over the internet prove this to be true. His short film titled “Limitless” from 2013 with director Selina Miles, with over 13 million views, is one of the most impressive displays of wall painting you will ever see. From photorealistic portraiture, to vast seascapes, intricate design and pattern work, Inovative letter and hand styles, and of course just straight up grimy trackside graffiti for the heads, Sofles has concurred it all. His prowess and talent are only matched by his thirst and curiosity for what comes next which thankfully keeps the engine running and the innovations coming.

EP161 - GEORGE F BAKER III
1 APR 2024 · To hear the full unedited version, visit https://vantagepointradio.com/podcast/ep-161-georgefbaker3/
The only thing more delightful and colorful than the work of George F. Baker III is the huge smile and good energy the man himself brings into every room he enters. His artwork reflects his personality, bounding with intricate design and color and full of positivity and witty life affirmations. After a successful but unfulfilling career as a graphic designer in Atlanta, GFB3 abruptly shifted gears from digital client work to painting murals and personal studio work. In his first year, with no real training in mural painting, he set out to paint as many murals as possible and honed in on his craft through sheer bruit force and dedication. What emerged was a highly stylized and unique combination of character illustration and text with so much energy that it seems to pulsate on the wall.

EP 160 - ACHES
29 FEB 2024 · To hear the full unedited version, visit Vantagepointradio.com
Dublin’s finest, ACHES is a man of many talents. As one of the leading graffiti artists in Ireland, ACHES has been pushing the art form in new and Inovative directions for years, incorporating his graphic design training and embracing technology to access new creative avenues conceptually in his work. Around 2017 ACHES began incorporating a bit of realistic portraiture into his graffiti, painting a quick portrait of whatever painting mate joined him that day next to his otherwise traditional graffiti letter styles. This act sparked a new direction for the artist and set him ablaze burning through the mural art scene with as much fuel and drive as one could imagine. Borrowing techniques he had perfected in his graffiti years before, ACHES has become best known for his color separated portraits where the main figure is divided into a rainbow of color as if filtered through a prism. His creativity and skill are as thick and satisfying as his Irish accent and there seems to be no limit to what we should expect from ACHES in the future.

EP 159 - KIMCHI JUICE
1 FEB 2024 · To hear the full unedited version, visit https://vantagepointradio.com/podcast/ep-159-kimchijuice/
With a name like Kimchi Juice you just can’t go wrong. The young artist from Washington DC, much like the name she’s given herself, leaves you with more questions than answers the longer you speak with her… but in all the best ways. From the age of 13, Kimchi Juice knew with full determination that she was an artist, so much so that she sidestepped high school in order to homeschool herself to free up more time to concentrate on making art on her own. Her focus and confidence has not wained over the past decade and has paid off big time. The 24 year old has shown her work in galleries and museums, painted murals from DC to Florida, to LA and as far as Seoul South Korea. She’s curated group shows in LA and Wasington DC and even has some of her art in the permanent collection with the Smithsonian. Her contemporary portrayal of traditional Korean motifs with feminist undertones speak to the artist’s upbringing and personal beliefs and continues to expand and evolve as it moves from walls to canvas to 3D objects and beyond.

Much like a human Swiss Army knife, Denver based artist Detour has a tool or a solution for any situation… and if he doesn’t, then he’s damn sure going to find one or even better, simply invent one himself. Growing up in a military family and bouncing around from city to city, country to country every few years, one learns from an early age how to adapt to new and unfamiliar situations. Detour took this aspect of his childhood and turned it into his super power, using his interest in sports and then breakdancing and eventually art making as a means to find his place in every new community. As his focus concentrated in on fine art his thirst for experimentation and discovery only grew. As a professional artists Detour glides effortlessly between painting murals, designing and building sculptural work, developing full immersion art installations, and even conceptualising and inventing new experimental art tools and methods.

EP157-JEREMYFISH
2 DEC 2023 · To hear the full unedited version, visit https://vantagepointradio.com/podcast/ep-157-jeremyfish/
In the days before the internet spread information and culture like it does today, Jeremy Fish first cemented his place in the art world through designing skateboard graphics in San Francisco back in the late 90s and early 2000s. His unique aesthetic quickly gained the attention of publications such as Juxtapoz Magazine which sent his work around the globe. Always maintaining a balance between fine art and consumer products such as vinyl toys, tee-shirts, and brand collaborations, Fish has been able to create an ever growing audience and maintain a freshness within his output. Originally from upstate New York, Fish has been living in and making art about his adopted home town of San Francisco for nearly three decades. His success in and influence on the Golden Gate city and the larger art world is undeniable despite the fact, or possibly because of the fact, that his approach to art making has virtually stayed the same all this time… to feverishly produce work that is thematically captivating and approachable to a wide audience. Never one for the elitist art world, Fish takes great pride in his wide appeal and accessibility and with values such as these and a motor as revved up as his there’s no limit to where his career will go over the next 30 years.
