PODCAST: Chris Oh
Chris Oh is a painter’s painter. He loves wiggling a brush around on a canvas and has been weirding people out in New York for years with his photorealistic and psychedelic work. On this week’s episode, Chris dropped by the kitchen to talk about his recent solo exhibition at Sargent’s Daughters, his fascination with science fiction book covers, working on found materials, a love of the Dutch old masters, wrestling with making funny work, childhood terrors, mythologies, and the time he and his brother were driving a van and then it exploded. Chris told me on the episode that you could still order his book CODEX from Heavy Time Books in Australia, but their website says it’s sold out. LOL. I don’t know… maybe email them and see if they have an extra copy lying around? Click here to see the book. The outro song is “Running Out of Time” by Dead Moon.
