Description
Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for Artists. On today’s episode I speak with the artist Dik Liu. I studied with Dik back in the day and was thrilled when he accepted my invitation to join me for this episode. Dik F. Liu received his MFA from Yale University. He is widely represented in exhibitions throughout the U.S. As a teacher, Liu has taught at Cooper Union, Hofstra University, and the School of Visual Arts and is currently teaching at the New York Academy of Art, Pratt Institute, and the New School University.Today we discuss observational painting, Manet, skill, ego, abstract painting, color and light, Dik’s practice and material curiosity, the Maroger Formula, the economy of brushwork, consistency, failure, Rembrandt, world-building and painting as a form of engagement or escapism. It was great to reconnect with Dik, the man is a wealth of information and experience. This conversation is a two-parter, so stay tuned next week for the dramatic conclusion.
