Jeff Gauntt

Join David Humphrey in this episode as he welcomes New York artist Jeff Gauntt, also known as DJ Wolf, ahead of their upcoming two-person show at Sikkema, Jenkins & Co. in 2005. Jeff shares insights into his unique artistic process, where his sculptures, often mistaken for paintings, reflect the music he listens to, treating each exhibition like an album with individual pieces as songs. The conversation explores themes of suburban life, emotional depth, and the influence of synth pop and industrial music on his work. Listeners are treated to a curated playlist featuring tracks from Wolfgang Press, Noi Button, Coil, and more, Jeff Gauntt makes paintings, objects, and prints in his studio, designs and builds costumes and props for performing (cosplay) at genre conventions, and makes signs and prints for covert interactive fan performances at live events.
