Duke Beardsley: Contemporary Western Artist - Epi. 235, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I had Duke Beardsley on today. He's something else. I just love his energy. When that man walks into a room, he has a presence, and if you look at his art - it's the same thing. These big, beautiful works with a modern sensibility, cowboys, and Western life. He's got his own voice, which again, is what I love in an artist and what I look for in my own artists that I represent.Duke has managed to find a lane that no one else has and he's been doing it for quite a while now. He's academically trained at the L.A. Art Center and he has this unique background of being a fifth-generation Coloradan who grew up part of the time in Denver, but the other part he's on a family ranch riding a horse, doing the things that you do if you have a ranch. So Duke is the product of this mix of experiences growing up and living the life of a Westerner. He's found a unique voice and I'm a big fan. This was a really fun podcast. Duke Beardsley on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 235.
