Life is brief and unpredictable. We can\u2019t know the consequences of our choices, and perhaps it\u2019s better that way. And, although we would like to believe otherwise, we can\u2019t direct our fates too closely. We can make what seem to be the best choices, but these are dictated by our own perception and what limited information we may have. There is never a guarantee that what we perceive may happen will in fact be the outcome. It is this knowledge that humans live with, coloring our time on the planet whether for better or worse.<\/p>\n

Anthony James<\/a> spoke to us about his work, which can be seen at Melissa Morgan Fine Art<\/a>. James began creating and making at a young age, and when he was a teenager, made endless paintings and drawings. Today, his art tends to be sculptural\/installation work, though, he recently noticed when viewing some of his early work at his mother\u2019s home, uses the same color palette. To hear more about James\u2019 work and live, listen to the complete interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Raymond Saa\u0301<\/a> sat down to discuss his show,\u00a0The Bluebird<\/em><\/a>, running until June 30 at Morgan Lehman Gallery. The title is borrowed from a French painting that uses very flat primary colors yet achieves a lot of movement and depth. It is the creation of three-dimensional form using these primary colors intercut with black that inspires Saa\u0301\u2019s own work. To hear more, listen to the complete interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A few words to keep in your pocket<\/p>\n

It\u2019s impossible to know, so it\u2019s better to just live.<\/p>\n
