Cultivating Balance in Art & Life - James Kennedy - Ep 52

<p><a href="https://art2life.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://Art2Life.com</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">- Meet James Kennedy. An artist living and working just north of NYC, whose work I have admired for years. And finally, I had the opportunity to sit with him and have a conversation. You know those people you meet that you want to hang out with more because you instantly feel you are on the same page? Not just about art but also life? James has this lovely mix of humility, humor, and creative wisdom that I so appreciate in artists. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It turns out James began his career in theater and performance art. His “find your way as you go” mode of unpremeditated paintings are gorgeous, balanced assemblages of line, shape, texture, and tonality. Ever since I first saw his work, I was struck by the fact that there was such a refined sense of balance. His art is like a perfect theatrical scene where all the characters are synchronized in a sublime balance of tension and harmony. Join me for a conversation I think you'll find nurturing, funny, and creatively liberating.</span></p> <p><span style= "font-weight: 400;">================================</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN…</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Creating your own world and the elaborate art journey of James Kennedy  [2:27]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Starting with landscapes and finding your way as you go [13:56]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The art of balance and the spacial quality of James’ work [22:12]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Subtlety, boldness, and overcoming challenges in the work [27:29]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Creating three-dimensionality through glazing [34:26]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Doing life with a creative partner and the process of James’ art practice [38:57]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nurturi
