    Artist Decoded by Yoshino

    “I started this series as a means for exploration, an exploration of self, and an exploration of the perspectives of other artists.

    This series is an unabridged documentation of conversations between artists. It’s a series dedicated to breaking down the barriers we tend to set up in our own minds. I want to inspire future creatives to have the courage to explore and experiment. This is about making dreams a reality and not about letting our dreams fall to the wayside.

    My intention is to give my audience a sense of real human connection, something that feels rich and organic.

    When I was thinking of a title I thought of the word “movement”.
    In relation to the Renaissance period in art, my goal for this program is to signify a rebirth of consciousness towards the way we look at contemporary art.”

    5 Feelings To Honor In The Midst Of A Crisis with Yore | MIND/WAVE #3 Apr 13, 2020
    Show notes

    https://www.patreon.com/artistdecoded

    About Yore:

    Equal parts emotive and angelic, Yore's voice is one of those rare wonders that can make the hairs on your arms stand to attention. Quietly arriving on the scene this year with his hypnotic single "Knew Better," the LA-based artist is bringing a conceptual approach to modern soul music, blending electronic and classical influences with meticulously layered vocals.

    It has been a long time coming – having previously held down a career in music under a different moniker, an intense period of meditation and solitude led to a reinvention as Yore. There's a certain yearning to his compositions, something Yore describes as "the nostalgia of what could have been" – combined with his shadowy, cinematic visuals it makes for an intense experience. - HUNGER Magazine, 2018

    A Guided Meditation with Cory Allen | MIND/WAVE #2 Apr 10, 2020
    Show notes

    https://www.patreon.com/artistdecoded

    About Cory: "Create space in your heart and mind. Live in the present moment. There are many styles of meditation, approaches to mindfulness, and paths to living a more present life. However, each of those schools are confined to their own strict guidelines. This course is not. I believe that every person is different and needs a unique style of meditation that works for them. I have studied meditation and mindfulness for 20 years. Throughout that time, I took what I found to be the most useful parts of each school of meditation and wiped away the mystery. I combined my personal discoveries, and a blend of classic foundational techniques to create a new approach to the art of mindfulness. In this downloadable 6 week audio course, I'll share an approach to meditation that allows you to learn what works best for you. Whether you're taking your first steps or are further down the path, this course is something you will grow with." - Cory Allen www.cory-allen.com

    Cognitive Dissonance with Allie X | AD 155 Apr 09, 2020
    Show notes

    https://www.patreon.com/artistdecoded

    About Allie X: Somewhere amidst the outer reaches of iconoclastic pop darling Allie X's mind, you'll find the limits of a surreal hamlet inspired by the East Coast's infamous playground of the pedigreed, Cape Cod. That said, it doesn't take long for all the overbearing, Americana-worshipping idyll to melt into a gloomy, grandiose fantasy world of Allie's creation. A distinct departure from her previous effort — the irreverent, observational Super Sunset — this new writing is an intimate, healing journey focused inwards. Told through the perspective of character rooted in Allie's own reluctant reflections upon her teenage alienation, it's an invitation to recontextualize the banality of our shared suburban coming-of-age angst via wry romanticization and darkly-dreamlike production. To rethink ostracization and ennui as a vehicle to unite, rather than isolate, all of the anxiety-ridden outsiders.

    "I was waiting for the right moment and place and maturity level where I could comfortably and accurately put these feelings into song," Allie says, before adding, "This sort of margin in time, and space helped me dive in, and explore some repressed feelings."

    Interestingly enough, her new work was created within the span of few whirlwind weeks. A literal world away from the hook-driven writing rooms of Los Angeles. Thanks to the help of like-minded Swedish producer, Oscar Görres, and co-writer James Alan Ghaleb, lead single "Fresh Laundry" unfurled into a gaudily melancholic, whimsical encapsulation of the surreal world Allie always dreamed of belonging to.

    Meanwhile, tracks like "Regulars" explores the struggle of a fish-out-of water forced to adhere to the conventional, while the Troye Sivan duet "Love Me Wrong" expounds upon these feelings — turning it toward the often fraught relationships with our family that we eventually end up internalizing. A carefully constructed meditation on universal themes of identity and belonging, most importantly, this new work is also a declaration of the autonomy we have when it comes to redefining ourselves and our place in the world. Although, Allie herself may still be on a journey toward reconciling with her past, by allowing herself to continue exploring the margins of contemporary pop, she's ended up finding herself, at last, a little bit closer to home. Topics Discussed In This Episode:

    • Her collaboration with Mitski (singer / songwriter) for their song "Susie Save Your Love"
    • Cognitive dissonance
    • Her writing process for her newest album, Cape God, which was inspired by the 2015 HBO documentary entitled "Heroin: Cape Cod USA" directed by Steven Okazaki
    • Sifting through disparate elements
    • Challenges faced in her music career
    • Adaptive resilience

    Opening The Flood Gates with Ron Hicks | AD 154 Apr 04, 2020
    Show notes

    https://www.patreon.com/artistdecoded

    About Ron: Ron Hicks was born in Columbus, Ohio but spent most of his childhood growing up in the modest and friendly neighborhood of Park Hill in Denver, Colorado. Ron always knew he would be an artist. Ron's family later relocated back to Ohio where during high school he was awarded several awards, and honors for various art shows and competitions. His talent became obvious and noted throughout his high school career, and Ron was awarded a full scholarship to Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, OH. He later returned to Denver then subsequently earned a degree in Advertising Design. After college, Ron applied his degree, and natural talent to working for ad agencies, magazines, and as a freelance illustrator. He would soon realize his true passion. Ron's natural talent, and eye for beauty encouraged a shift in the direction of his style of painting. "I see things very abstractly, so I think of myself as a painter who sees shape, value, edges and texture. It could be the most mundane thing to any passer-by, but I find great beauty in that. I can't imagine not painting...not creating. If I'm not painting, creating, and sharing my gift then what's the point?" - Ron Hicks

    Topics Discussed In This Episode:

    • The recent LA Art Show with his paintings on view at the Gallery 1261 booth
    • His early art inspiration as a child specifically from his mother
    • Starting a Saturday art program at the Columbus College of Art and Design in high school
    • Moving back to Denver to finish college, and a short-winded pursuit in advertising design before diving into his art career
    • An early mentorship that allowed him to tap into the "soul" of his art, and thoughts on developing an intuitive toolbox
    • Hicks' evolution of his art, and the abstract dialogue that comes through his paintings
    • Creating honesty in his art but leaving room for his viewers' interpretation of his works
    • Processing the traumas of thirty years of racial profiling

    Taking Action In Spite of Fear with Akira Beard | AD 149 Mar 17, 2020
    Show notes

    https://www.patreon.com/artistdecoded

    About Akira: "Making pictures is one of the earliest memories I recall. Before learning to write the alphabet I was drawing from my imagination in crayons. And over all the years that followed, there has never been a period where I didn't continue the practice. I remember for example just after graduating high school and living on my own as a dishwasher with no ambitions in life but to get drunk and high. But when the party was over I would be in the kitchen of a house I didn't live in, drawing past dawn. Or even when I was a student at the University of California Berkeley, on my way towards a corporate life, having never conceived even the possibility where art could be a profession, I filled my notebooks not with words from lectures, but with sketches of teachers and classmates. And though later I would become a 'professional artist', I sometimes look back at such moments if confused with the roots of my creativity. It started purely as an act of autonomy, where nothing outside myself influenced or affected it. I simply drew because I enjoyed it above all else. Sure, like anyone I've had plenty of typical life experiences that have brought their own joy, but nothing compares in consistency and meaningfulness that making art has provided. Even during those unavoidable periods with living that challenge us most, drastic life change/loss/death, art has functioned as a medium with giving meaning to suffering, transforming it into an experience with healing. This I hope, begins to describe the art I make. The drawings and paintings you see on this site, are similar to snapshots where the lens points in Life's direction with penetrating force. Every piece reflects a story only Life could tell. Up until my middle twenties it was enough to make art for its own sake. When I discovered making pictures offered so much more in such ways, a journey of exploration began. It's fascinating to see how far it has come, and continuing forward never knowing where it may go." - Akira Beard Topics Discussed In This Episode:

    • Akira's journey into tattoo art versus his drawing and painting practice, and how concepts of spontaneity, the subconscious mind, and thinking work into his creative decision-making
    • Using art initially as a necessity to undo years of emotional repression
    • Getting out of his head, and living in the present moment
    • Winning the Redbull art competition, and recontextualizing his preconceived notions of commercial art
    • Akira's personal experience with expectations, and their effects both on relationships and art
    • Leaving UC Berkeley, and corporate career aspirations for art school
    • The important mentorship of an art professor
    • Reflection on his time as a vagabond
    • Incorporating uncomfortability into his life
    • Beginning his practice in jiu-jitsu and self defense
    • Documentaries: "The Real Mr. Miyagi" and " Marina Abramović: The Artist is Present"
    • Thoughts on the hero's journey, and the human experience
