Michael Weller is a painter based out of the UK known for his quiet and subtle paintings. He focuses on the shifts in color as he observes his subject in natural light. He often works on several paintings simultaneously capturing the arrangement from different angles. Each piece is the product of long and careful study and yet the finished work has a sense of calm and ease to it.

Raku (encore)
Raku bowls are humble. They are hand formed starting from a flat, circular base and coils built up around the sides. The process results in each piece being unique with evidence of the artist’s hand in the creative process.

Jeff Koons | Pink Panther
Jeff Koons, born in 1955, displayed an early interest in art. As a teenager, he called Salvador Dali's hotel and arranged to meet the artist. He was inspired by Dali and went on to study art in college. Koons supported himself with various jobs, including working at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, working the information desk at MoMA and as a commodities broker in New York. He gained recognition in the 1980s with his "The New" and "Equilibrium" series, and achieved international fame with his "Banality" series, which challenged notions of art and taste. Koons's work often explores themes of consumer culture, mass production, and the relationship between art and commerce. He is known for his meticulous approach, often employing skilled artisans to create his sculptures. Koons's "Pink Panther" (1988) exemplifies his exploration of popular culture and kitsch, challenging traditional notions of art and value.

Pencils (encore)
For today's mini episode, I thought it might be nice to change things up a little bit and cover the history of a medium rather than a specific artwork. Learn a little bit about pencils, what the numbers and letters mean, what is in the core of a pencil and how colored pencils differ from regular pencils.

Julie Averbach | The Art of Trader Joe's
I have always been interested in "fine art" that makes the leap from museum walls to popular culture. I also think there is a lot of brilliant design happening in spaces and on things that we see so frequently we become blind to them. People rarely consider the work and the artistry behind the things we interact with the most. Julie Averbach is the author of the new book, The Art of Trader Joe's. She talks about her book and the experience of recognizing and appreciating the extraordinary art in ordinary places. She talked about some of her favorite parodies created by Trader Joe's artists including parodies of Georges Seurat's Sunday Afternoon on La Grande Jatte and Grant Wood's American Gothic. Please note that Who ARTed, the host, Kyle Wood, and this week's guest, Julie Averbach have no affiliation with Trader Joe's.
