From Corporate to Creator: Natasha Patel's Bold Art Evolution

From Corporate to Creator: Natasha Patel's Bold Art Evolution

Author: Jesse Fortune & Erik Ringman October 28, 2024 Duration: 1:09:19

After doing time as an employee, Natasha realized no path to success lay there: the only option is to take the reins in your own hands and chart a novel course. She produced flow art for a while that was a pleasing initial step into creative endeavours, and she experienced marketability, but felt undifferentiated from the hordes of other artists doing the same thing. Inspiration would be found on a trip to the motherland, India - Natasha is a first generation American - and her focus has honed. New works feature rich colours and architectural influences of India's timeless legacy. Her time in the corporate world wasn't for naught though, as she brings a keen awareness for customer funnel, networking, and long term strategy alongside the actual production of artpieces.

Step inside the world famous Location 1980 Art Collective, where the champagne toasts and the paint-stained realities of a creative life exist side by side. On the Location 1980 Podcast, hosts Jesse Fortune and Erik Ringman pull up a stool in the studio for conversations that move seamlessly from the business of art to the absurdities of the scene. This isn't a distant, theoretical discussion; it's boots-on-the-ground perspective, fueled by genuine curiosity and a shared laugh. Each episode brings a guest artist into the mix, leading to talks that are as much about entrepreneurial hustle and visual craft as they are about the unexpected comedy found in gallery openings and daily studio struggles. You'll hear the unvarnished stories behind the work-the grit required to build something lasting, alongside the genuine thrill of a successful gala. Fortune and Ringman have a knack for drawing out the specific details and broader themes that matter to makers and enthusiasts alike. Tune in for a podcast that captures the full spectrum, from the practical challenges of running an art practice to the pure joy of creation, all filtered through the unique energy of a collective that's lived it. It’s a direct line to the conversations happening after the lights go down in the exhibition space.
