Interview with Patrick Martinez

Maysha Mohamedi

L.A. based artist Maysha Mohamedi’s abstract paintings are flurries of colors, lines, and shapes imbued with energy, sensation, and meaningful intention. She often paints with her hands and talks about both visible and invisible marks that go into the making of her work. She discusses her process, her use of language, the movements and gestures that define her work, and how the making of abstraction can be a privilege. “It does feel like a privilege for a person of color to engage in creativity abstractly. It feels like a privilege to spend time thinking about our feelings and expressing them, and having emotions that are carried out in a visual way like that.” – Maysha MohamediHost and Producer: Lindsay Preston ZappasEngieneering: PJ ShahamatProduction assistance: Alitzah OrosTheme music: Joel P WestEpisode sponsored by: Paradise Framing and Parrasch Heijnen Gallery

Naotaka Hiro

L.A. based artist Naotaka Hiro talks about the exploration of the “unknown body” in his multi-media practice. The Osaka-born artist, who works across painting, drawing, video, film, and sculpture, often puts constraints on his body as he works, embracing his own limitations and failures. In this episode Hiro gives listeners intimate insight to his nuanced process, and the private performance that goes into making his work. He also talks about how 2020’s pandemic and unrest directly impacted his recent exhibition, Armor.“I think that making failure is to show myself, like a raw self.. Not pretending or [trying] to be pretty with something extra. I always have the tendency to make it neat and nice, but having a failure kind of pulls me off from that.”–Naotaka HiroHost and Producer: Lindsay Preston ZappasProduction and engineering: PJ Shahamat Theme music: Joel P West

The Carla Podcast

Lari Pittman

This episode, host Lindsay Preston Zappas is joined by painter Lari Pittman that was recorded just days before Pittman's retrospective opened at the Hammer Museum in LA. They discuss personal experiences that have deeply influenced his work, and talk about what it was like to delve into painting and decoration in the '70s—a time when painting was as Pittman says, “dilapidated.” Pittman now teaches painting at UCLA, and in this conversation, he talks about the impact that working with younger artists has had on him. He also delves into his early experiences growing up in Colombia, the impact that his identity has had on his work and the way in which his work has found a dialogue with a new generation of contemporary painters. ––––––––––––You can submit a question to Dear Carla by emailing us at podcast@contemporaryartreview.la or DM us on Instagram @contemporaryartreview.la
