PAINT IT OUT WITH QRCKY

In this episode of The Truth in This Art, I reconnect with Baltimore-based visual artist Qrcky for his third appearance on the podcast. Known for his bold black-and-white "Stripes" series, Qrcky shares how his work explores themes within the Black diaspora, urban landscapes, and the power of art to foster community dialogue. We dive into his evolution as an artist, including his transition into sculpture and recent experiments with gold and silver electroplating. Along the way, we discuss the challenges of navigating the art world, the importance of resilience, and his unique approach to balancing creativity and personal expression. Be sure to listen to Qrcky's previous episodes on the podcast, including his first interview here and the Podcasting in Place episode where I interviewed him in his home studio here.
