In this episode, host David Humphrey welcomes artist Alexis Rockman to the studio. Rockman's larger-than-life paintings, including a monumental depiction of Antarctica, serve as the backdrop for a discussion on the intersection of art and reality. As they delve into Rockman's hyperbolic realism and fascination with depicting the indescribable, they navigate through themes of mutation, genetic deviance, and the surreal landscapes of science fiction. From the visionary score of "Blade Runner" to the haunting melodies of Marvin Gaye's "Mercy Mercy Me," each track echoes the depth of Rockman's artistic vision. Alexis Rockman (b. 1962) is an American contemporary artist known for his paintings that provide depictions of future landscapes as they might exist with impacts of climate change and evolution influenced by genetic engineering.
