Ep: 05 The World Needs More Lights With Andru Sisson

For Those Who Know.

This episode I sit down with Andru Sisson, who I have dubbed "The New Age, Black Contemporary Painter". Fresh off the success of his second exhibition in LA, titled "Black Privilege" we get an exclusive, and candid talk about his work, challenges he faces as a Black artist in a predominantly White industry, navigating newfound success and avoiding the pitfalls and perils that come with it. Lastly, we speak about the role his mother has played in not only his life, but in and through his art. Like Andru, I too, lost my mother to breast cancer and we talk openly about losing a parent, the impact of loss and how it continues to shape us internally and artistically. Read up on Andru, and check out his past interviews and see his most recent works from Ivory Gold Slaves to Black Privilege here: https://www.ln-cc.com/en/feed-artist-series-andru-sisson-feature/feed-artist-series-andru-sisson-feature.html https://www.tappancollective.com/collections/andru-sisson http://www.anothermag.com/art-photography/9340/tappan-presents-new-york-based-painter-andru-sisson Follow him on Instagram @Andrusisson www.Andrusisson.com Episode sponsors: MONSIEURSHARP.com follow them on Instagram for product updates @Monsieursharp Mr. Shea, Shea Butter follow them on Instagram @My_Mr_Shea and visit Mymrshea.com Music Production courtesy of @SuedeJuryMusic Follow us on Twitter @FTWKnow & Follow me personally @Jearysylves Any questions, suggestions or just want to shout us out?
