    Contemporary Surrealism with Jordan Baraniecki

    Contemporary Surrealism with Jordan Baraniecki

    In this episode of the Artist Business Plan we sit down with Jordan Baraniecki to talk about being an "artistic middleman". Learn about approaching grants and the contemporary surrealist movement when you tune into this lovely episode.
    Guest: Jordan is a 3D collage painter from Canada. He obtained his Masters from Emily Carr University in 2022 with an emphasis on the resurgence of post-pandemic Surrealism. Throughout his travels, he has nurtured a profound appreciation for introspection, philosophy, and psychology, which now serve as the undercurrents of his practice. His work invites the viewer to question their thoughts; the mind retains thousands a day and only the ones that become conscious, also become part of the subject matter. 
    Jordan has garnered national and international recognition. Notably, he exhibited at the Academy of Fine Art in Krakow, Poland in 2022. He has collaborated with companies such as Herschel Clothing and The Vancouver Opera. He has partnered with 0x Society Gallery in Montreal to develop NFTs. Additionally, Jordan dedicated a year to an artist residency in his hometown to explore psychological differences of chaos and solace.

    Try Everything As An Artist with Brent Estabrook

    In this episode of the Artist Business Plan we sit down with Brent Estabrook to talk about expanding an arts business beyond originals. Learn about new projects and developing a catalog of artworks when you tune into this lovely episode.
    Guest: Brent is an American artist known for his large-scale oil paintings of stuffed animals. Born in Arizona and raised in Seattle, WA, he holds a Bachelor of Studio Arts from the University of Arizona and a Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DMD) from the University of Louisville. With a playful yet meticulous approach, Estabrook combines surgical precision with a childlike sense of joy, creating textured and vibrant compositions. His artistic journey began by turning frustration over student debt into paintings of enlarged currencies, leading to a career breakthrough. Through a series of colorful skulls, he developed his distinctive style, exploring brushwork and color palette. The series “Perpetual Recess” initiated in 2015, firmly established him in the art world. Since then, Estabrook has exhibited in notable art fairs across the United States and was recently featured in the Long Beach Museum of Art’s exhibition “Creature Comforts” in 2022. Currently based in Los Angeles, California, Estabrook continues to captivate audiences with his evocative artwork.
