James Hyde

In this episode, host David Humphrey welcomes New York artist James Hyde. Known for his unique blend of consciousness and materiality, Hyde discusses his latest musical inspirations centered around the theme of "lost in music." The conversation explores the self-referential nature of art and music, touching on how pop songs often reflect personal narratives. Hyde shares tracks like Erykah Badu's "Rimshot" and Nas's "One Mic," highlighting their introspective qualities and how these themes resonate in Hyde's abstract work, where space and time become intertwined. James Hyde is a contemporary artist who often employs unconventional materials when painting that range from plaster, nylon, chrome, and steel to styrofoam, glass, and more recently, photography.
