In this episode, Eric sits down with the talented artist Aiseborn at the Museum of African American Art at the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza in Los Angeles. They discuss how he first began making art that included drawing from comic books, magazines, tv shows and super hero characters to eventually developing into an exhibiting. The various media he uses and his special affinity for graffiti and artists that have influenced him. Graffiti as an art form, the role of letter writing throughout history, the art of mural making and how murals throughout Los Angeles are like landmarks. The many murals he has created and his dear friend and collaborator — the legendary late Noni Olabisi… thinking about the art that artists make; as marking time periods in history and leaving something behind. They reflect on what it means to be a “black artist” and “making black art” and his desire of wanting to be seen firstly and foremost as an artist — beyond the color of his skin. They discuss the remarkable, almost ’magical’ process of the act of making art and his fabulous solo exhibition on display entitled “From the HeArt”, including various pieces, his artistic process, technique, where he drew inspiration from and the messages he intended to communicate through this body of work.

Guest Bio:  Aiseborn ["Ace-born"] developed as illustrator, graffiti writer, and fine painter in Los Angeles. His work defies physical boundaries, illuminating the essence of One. Known for his murals, which often include aerosol portraits, adorned with his classic one brush stroke techniques, he creates geometric illusions that propagate at rhythms intrinsic to nature. Captivating enough to stand alone, his circular framework, replicates the ingenuity of world symbols such as the Adinkranhene, Mandala, Flower-of-Life, Dream Catcher, etc. Through study and practice, he demonstrates the fluid movements of an organism, capturing the morphological process of plant life and the emotional appearance of physiological expressions from the human subject. Foresight with design is fueled by observing the order in which organisms naturally grow while his portraits employ the human form with enriched motifs that radiate the essence of One..
