On this episode, a conversation with artist Cy Gavin about his career and about what he stopped drawing when he makes his paintings.
Cy Gavin is a painter whose work resists easy categorization.
It moves between figuration and abstraction, between landscape and memory, between what is seen and what is carried.
He creates artwork that unfolds as atmospheres, as questions, and as a kind of inquiry into perception itself.
His services hold both material experimentation, pigments, textures, light, and a deeper investigation into how we locate ourselves in the world physically and psychologically.
His work has been exhibited at institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and is held in major public collections.
But what distinguishes his practice is not scale or recognition.
It's the way his paintings operate as sites of searching.
They ask not only what are we looking at, but how we look and what we bring with us when we do.
Debbie spoke with Cy Gavin in front of a live audience at the Met, where they were in conversation both about his life and work, but also about how it relates to ecologies of painting and installation on view in the European Paintings Galleries.
Thank you for joining us on this beautiful afternoon in New York City.
