"The Man-Kind Podcast" Episode 9: Skylar Hughes

This week we have an amazing artist in the house: Skylar Hughes! He has incredibly thoughtful insights into the creative process and what it means to "be a man". Skylar Hughes is an American born painter and musician living and working in Los Angeles, CA. He earned a BFA from The Hartford Art School, CT in 2009 and now focuses primarily on painting and collage. His first major solo exhibition, “One Big Gust of Wind,” was held at the New Britain Museum of American Art, CT in 2013. Skylar has since participated in solo and group shows in CT, NY, and CA and has work in numerous public and private collections. "Warm Into the Day", the artist’s second solo exhibition with The Lodge, LA was held in the summer of 2019 in conjunction with the publication of the artist’s first printed book of collage, "Book of Shapes". Furthermore, Skylar is an accomplished musician and his eleven song album "Moon Eyes" can be found on Bandcamp.com. When not in his Chinatown based studio, Skylar can either be found on the waves at Topanga Beach or guiding a guest towards that perfect bottle of Piemonte as the Wine Director at Rossoblu restaurant in downtown LA. .
