Raymie Iadevaia
Raymie Iadevaia is a painter based in Los Angeles, CA. We had a long, rollicking conversation, much like the saturated hills of Raymie’s paintings. We discussed his recent solo exhibition, Hearafter, at The Pit in Palm Springs, CA, his creative process, and various other aspects of his work, including:
* The balance between serious play and solemnity in making art
* How the work often unlocks more questions than answers
* The concept of "the landscapist’s soul"
* Inspirations from Pierre Bonnard and Maya Deren
* The influence of board games, particularly Candyland
* Speed and compositional format in his paintings
* The sense of journey within his works
* The use of animal forms, character, and narrative
* The poignant and bittersweet origins of the title Hearafter
* Themes of mortality and a quote about consciousness from the Gospel of Thomas
* Paintings as time machines, and how the time of year and day influence his work
* California as a character
* Drawing as a daily practice and an engine for the work
* And much, much more!
