An Interview with Downtown NYC Artist Rick Prol

3 weeks ago | whitehotmagazine.com | Noah Becker

By NOAH BECKER May, 15 2025In your “Dark Cities” series, you depict urban decay alongside resilience. What personal experiences or observations led you to explore these contrasting themes? Do you feel like a survivor? Only in hindsight, of course, do I think of myself as a survivor. A survivor of NYC, my youth in the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, and all that entailed.
Interview with Figruative Painter Jenia Weichsel by Noah Becker

3 weeks ago | whitehotmagazine.com | Noah Becker

By NOAH BECKER May 14, 2025Jenia Weichsel is an artist I discovered online and had to reach out to. As I've mentioned before, I tend to get interested in painters that have some kind of relation to my own work - and of course, I've published every kind of artist - but I do love figurative oil painters... Her paintings have that John Currin kind of realer-than-real feeling to them, which is cool. But Weichsel has her own fully developed style, and I find it very strong.
George Colligan on Music and Life

3 weeks ago | whitehotmagazine.com | Noah Becker

By NOAH BECKER May 12, 2025We've published a few music articles in Whitehot Magazine. As Jazz goes, muscians like drummer Rodney Green and artist/pianist Jason Moran have been written about in this magazine in past years. In this case, I caught up with virtuoso Jazz pianist/composer George Colligan. I've known George for many years and my paintings have appeared on his album covers. George appeared on my album Where We Are in 2000, which included guitar star Kurt Rosenwinkel.

Mark Flood in Conversation with Noah Becker

By NOAH BECKER May 8, 2025 NOAH BECKER:Your work spans from punk music to conceptual art. How has your experience in Culturcide influenced your visual art practice? MARK FLOOD: Also, I got involved with a band and I do some of their imagery. The band is called Vulturcide and I think the first song is going up onbandcamp any day now. The lace paintings have been described as “spinster abstraction.” What draws you to lace as a material, and what are you communicating through this process?
I asked Carolyn Marks Blackwood About Her Photographs

1 month ago | whitehotmagazine.com | Noah Becker

By NOAH BECKER May 1, 2025I've been a fan of Carolyn Marks Blackwood's photographs for some time. She also works in the film world extensively and you can Google that aspect off her life. But my interaction with her has been through the art world. With a museum show in Spain, Marks Blackwood is getting busy... NOAH BECKER: Your skies are filled with motion and metaphor. When you look up at the sky, what are you hoping to see—or hoping others will see through your eyes?

1 month ago | whitehotmagazine.com | Noah Becker

By NOAH BECKER April 30, 2025NOAH BECKER:Your sculptures reflect a dialogue between sculptural environments and their inhabitants—how do you conceptualize the relationship between space and figure in your work? ALFRED ROSENBLUTH: The relationship between space and figure is pretty interdependent in my work. I regard my environments as a type of being that should convey and embody the presence of a standing figure.
Coney Island of the Mind: A Conversation with the Wildly Creative NYC Based Artist Clown Soldier

1 month ago | whitehotmagazine.com | Noah Becker

By NOAH BECKER April 29, 2025I spoke with the artist known as Clown Soldier about his work. Born Doug Groupp, his alter-ego "Clown Soldier" creates interesting, colorful, humorous and varied works of art. We spoke about it here... NOAH BECKER: Your work often blends the playful with the hermeneutic—humor with a sense of layered meaning. How do you navigate the balance between chaos and cohesion when creating a piece? CLOWN SOLDIER:Do I balance it? lol Most of the time it's a fight.
