Billy Schenck: Pop Western Artist - Epi. 147, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

This episode was recorded during our virtual opening / Q&A
event held on April 2nd, 2021 

First-time "three-peat" guest Billy Schenck joins us for the
147th edition of the Art Dealer Diaries Podcast. It's always fun
to have Billy on my podcast because no two interviews are the
same. It doesn't matter how much I know about him, I always learn
something new. In this case, we were fortunate to have had a
virtual opening and Q+A for Billy's "New Works" show so we took
that opportunity to make it into a podcast episode.

In this episode, Billy and I went and reviewed bits and pieces of
his artistic origin story. We hear about Billy moving to New York
City, eventually working with the likes of Andy Warhol, as well
as his time in Santa Fe, working with legendary art dealer Elaine
Horowitz and Native American artist Fritz Scholder.

Afterward, we dive into his new body of work, piece by piece.
Billy goes in-depth on the inspirations behind his new series of
"Descanso" paintings and gives us some insight into the locations
and figures he's put on canvas during the COVID-19
pandemic.

We wrapped up the virtual opening with a Q&A session with
Billy getting to answer some great questions from those in
attendance. I highly encourage you to watch this podcast on
YouTube if at all possible. It's fun to listen to, but if you get
a chance to experience the video version you'll actually be able
to see all the paintings we’re talking about as well as the
enthusiasm and spirit Billy pours into each yarn he
spins. 

This is Billy Schenck on Art Dealer Diaries.
