Dead Hare Radio Hour

A detail of the copious amounts of material hanging on the wall in Joel Schapira's studio.   The First segment of this week's show continues the last show's theme of taking a break from art. First, Chris, along with artists Mark DeLura, Peter Acheson (who joined us on the road trip DHRH Episode #30), and Deirdre Swords pay a visit to the studio of Joel Schapira in Connecticut. Joel tells us about his three month break from painting - which unexpectedly stretched out for two + years. Below are images from our studio visit with Joel showing some of the works you hear us discuss in this segment.  The captions for the studio visit shots were written by Joel. This first image is of a painting of a painting - in the same family as the one that finally brought Joel's painting hiatus to an end. On the left, one of the Wolf Teeth Evermore Agains. it's 36" high x 19" wide. On the right, au la la. it's a housey construction on old pickets...abo
