This week Erik and Mike interview artist Julie Strasheim. With an impressive education and resume of artists’ residencies, Julie has lived and studied painting all over the United States, Italy, France, Spain, Estonia, Costa Rica, Finland, and Georgia. Julie is a two-time winner of The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant, has her portraits in several private collections and has exhibited in various group shows. Julie currently shows at Gallery Cuvée. Julie is presently working on Project Merasi which involves painting portraits of musicians from Rajasthan, India. The objective of these works is to honor both the musicians, who are denied basic human dignity as Untouchables in the caste system of India, as well as their musical legacy of 37 generations. The paintings are being donated to raise funds to assist the Merasi in building schools in Rajasthan.

This week Erik and Mike interview artist Alvin Gregorio. In his upcoming exhibition at Vertigo Art Space, Alvin P. Gregorio collaborates with guest artists Mike Bernhardt, Amber Britton, Donald Fodness, and Anna Harber Freeman to create an environment that lies somewhere between the Villa Villa Kula of Pippi Longstocking (the place Where the Wild Things are) and indigenous bamboo hut villages of Gregorio’s Filipino ancestry. These artists have created visual expressions revolving around family history, the complexities of parenthood, and the cyclical nature of karma.

This week Erik and Mike interview Artist and gallery owner David Agee. David Agee is a Denver artist and owner of Shed the Skin Gallery, a contemporary venue for emerging local artists. The gallery is located at 4252 Tennyson St. in the Tennyson Art District.
David Agee has mostly been known for intense digital photographs of the temporary instillations he creates. His provocative, cutting-edge photographs are extreme close-ups of the objects of his obsessions, and his use of a macro lens allows him to blur the visual distinctions behind the shapes of mass-produced products and the organic. He gets up close to his subjects and in doing so, reveals universal shapes and the universal way all things decay–they bubble, they drip, they glow and bend light on their journey of transformation and mutation. Thematically, David’s focus is the ecstasy of self-destruction and emotional extremes. In creating these stunning visual records, we are shown that destruction and creation resemble each other when frozen in process by the camera lens. It forces us to question the surface matter of all we take for granted. Lately his artwork has evolved into a more permanent instillation. He has been creating beautifully textured and detailed mixed media pieces that have been getting him positive attention. They are a more tangible expression of his photography, definitely taking him to the next level of being an artist.
