Epis.#273: Los Angeles-Based Painter Forrest Kirk

<p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/forrestkirk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forrest Kirk</a> is a figurative painter based in Los Angeles; as this episode releases, he has a sold-out show at <a href="https://www.parraschheijnen.com/">Parrasch Heijnen gallery</a>. In the Conversation, Kirk doesn’t back away from describing the pressure the art world has placed on Black creators to make “Black Art.” He also talks about his living room-studio setup; discusses collecting -- both as a collector and an artist being collected; his experience in the art world as a black man and a painter; and he lets us in on part of how he's risen to success in the art world within just four years.</p>
