Iben Vestergaard
Jan Ziegler--who you will hear mentioned in the recording--curated this show called Mood Swings featuring three Santa Barbara artists and on Friday night I sat down with two of them, Iben Verstergaard and Tom Post, to talk art. (The third, Rosemary Gelbart, was out of the country.) Vestergaard used a type of medium called silicate paint, which was not designed for painting canvases, but houses. She gets some very etherial looks from it, which need to be seen in person. They sort of glow.Tom Post creates earthy abstracts that flirt wtih representation and--whether he knows it--speaks of his Texas upbringing. Post's pre-art career is interesting and briefly get into this.Here are websites for all three artists:
