This week's broadcast of Art on the Air features the multitalented Peter Erwin Roberts!
Roberts' discusses his solo exhibition "If Only." Here's the show blurb:
"17 new works explore randomly connected thoughts that become fanciful environments. Based on real life experiences, arbitrary gossip and true encounters, each 12" x 12" has a pop art approach embellished by cut paper."
We can't wait to have Peter in studio to take a deep dive into not only this show, but his artistic practice and philosophy, as well as his take on the Savannah art community as a whole.
Also a Field Note with emerging artist Peggy Jo Aughtry and her inspiring story of how a very recent and unprecedented interest and practice in creating art saved her life.
Well worth a listen.

We're excited to invite Angela Burson into the studio for this week's episode of Art on the Air!
We spoke about her upcoming exhibition Peep Show, "a solo show displaying the artists’ fondness for anachronistic images of fashion and objects. Her interest in the surreal connection between realistic subject matter and flat repetitive pattern brings a personal environment that makes mid-century modern simultaneously charming and a little bit naughty." (from Location Gallery)
PLUS, we broadcast our Field Note with José Ray all about his exhibition Flora: a collection of large scale mixed media works by José Ray!
AND we check in with our good friend David Laughlin down at City Market!
Art for your ears!

This week on Art on the Air on WRUU – 107.5 FM Savannah we were joined in studio by Axelle Kieffer and Jordan Mooney! They gave us all of the details on their exhibition at Sulfur Studios, “Danse Macabre.”
From the press release:
“The danse macabre, a theme born out of the religious and political forces of Late Middle Ages, echoes across the centuries into our modern era. Death comes for All, with no consideration for station or status.
“We were what you are, and you will be what we are.”
“Today the figure of death as a corpse or skeleton is no longer solely associated with religious works, but its use maintains an extended dialogue with the images that have come before. Each century creates its own danse macabre to exorcise its own fears. This imagery filters through the works of Axelle Kieffer and Jordan Fitch Mooney; using these sources to examine our time, speaking to the artistic dialogue while also grappling with their personal experiences.”
PLUS, we broadcast our Field Notes with Leslie Lovell over at Roots Up Gallery talking all about their New Works Art Show AND our chat with Lizzy Taber, the current On::View Artist in Residence!
Listen Up!

“Art exists as a causeway between the objective and the subjective; a provocative link between our factual understanding and our fanciful interpretations; a spiritual bridge between life’s day-to-day demands and the sustaining power of ritual and myth. Art transports us from the comparatively limited domain of our mundane obligations into a never-expanding realm of engaging possibilities – informing, inspiring andelevating us all.” -Jerome Meadows
