Favoriting August 17, 2018: Artist James Siena
This week on the IRL podcast, Kim and Emily get a does of (probably much needed) culture and refinement as they take a glimpse into the world of fine art. The girls sit down for a real talk with famed artist James Siena about inspiration, assistants, being a successful working artist, and the burning question that eats at art connoisseurs everywhere—what's in a name? Prepare to be inspired!

James Siena is a master of virtuosic simplicity, creating his images from formulaic configurations of lines, interlocking combs, concentric circles, or other basic forms. The magic of Siena's work comes from the remarkable blend of patience, exactitude, intuition, and grace with which he executes the "visual algorithms" he devises.

Siena's work appears in collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Hammer Museum at UCLA, and the Yale University Art Gallery.

I think Kelly would be more likely to talk to you guys than Jim DeRogatis, but probably not by much. At least not once the level of inquisitiveness coming at him sank in.
