In this episode, host and K Contemporary gallery owner Doug Kacena explores modern portraiture with artists David Kassan and Thomas “Detour” Evans. Both artists take on deeply relevant and moving subjects: Kassan recently painted a series of Holocaust survivors, and Detour brings issues of social justice and representation to life in murals and paintings. The three discuss the value of empathy, compassion, authenticity, and capturing a subject’s essence in modern portraits.
