I agree we need Rick to do more interinterviews with visual artists in their studios … it take things to another level ….thanks Rick …. Hope to meet you one day with my 🖼️ art …cheers
wes was my Buddy back in Jersey. He worked for me at my Tattoo shop Powerhouse tattoo. We hung out and got into the rave scene at the Limelight. Is was so fun to go on this journey with him again. I remember so many of these stories from back then. it was cool. SO glad he has been so successful. Nice going.
Wes is one of the reasons I started making art. His book ‘Everything’ is something I could just stare at for hours. Never thought an interview like this would ever happen. There’s only been a handful throughout the years that have come back but I always find myself coming back to watch again.
Tetragrammaton is my favorite podcast. One piece of constructive feedback is show the painting up close when they are discussing the piece. I love their reactions but I want to react to it as well. Thank you Rick and team for ALWAYS putting out quality episodes!
Wes is such a fine human, inspirational artist in many ways... I bought the book "be here now" 10 years ago just because he recommended. Thank you so much for that interview/sneak preview. Impressive...
its so interesting to me to see the divide in the response to this in these comments. Some love this man and seemingly love his art, some think negative things about him. I think the art Its not perfect or amazingly talented works, but i find the stories and the idea that he enjoys coming up with these narratives as a beautiful form of art encompassing these paintings. I feel so much art in this time period is made to look nice, appeal to people, or to mean something to others... whether political or to express an objection to society, or just to make money. I feel like this man is creating art to tell stories important to him, and that makes him a great artist in my eyes.
Love this ☝️! As a painter, graphic designer making music , I can relate to the obsession, gathering, collecting images, sounds, albums. Got into reggae, roots, dub, then shamanic soundscapes. Greetings from Haiti 🇭🇹 we’re still alive n making art. Mrs Rubin, loved your book…I even made a puppet of you to animate. 🙌
I would love to hear Rick Ruben talk to Odd Nerdrum the Norwegian painter about art and life. I think both men would have an appreciation for the other's perspectives on life, art and philosophy. Both have that Prophet vibe.
Don’t Eat The Yellow Snow is actually several years earlier than Joe’s Garage (‘79); it’s on Apostrophe (‘74), which btw has a brand new release for its 50 anniversary.
Okay just started, I already know I’m gonna love this one, he’s got a JFA shirt! My friend Lily’s dad Corey Stretz plays bass for them. Will edit my comment with an update once I finish watching 🙌
I want to say this first I’m giving this episode a chance because my respect for Rick and his insight on creativity. But I’m 13 minutes in and I’m losing interest because the conversation is so one sided. I’m not trolling I’m just stating my truth. Hope you are having a beautiful day and thank you for the visuals.
is this for real? felt more and more like typical parody sketch the longer it dragged on. ingenuine LA bs artist speak . . nothing new. cliche. shallow. . name drop name drop blah blah. RR couldn't even act like he believed what this guy was saying half the time.
He's a sober self obsessed artist with no self awareness so it comes off as satire or ironic. pretty common but im surprised he hasn't grown past that and just be real.
I love harmonised palettes like you're saying, but I think his work benefits from the crudeness like James Ensor, gives it dark humour that I think he is going for
His art is just a rip-off of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Listening to artists talk about their work is cringe. They are so self-obsessed and self-important. "I, me, me, mine"
Wes seems like the most vapid, least interesting artist of our time. It's like he's been developed by an media company. Dishonest eyes hidden behind sunglasses as he spouts empty, boring monologues. Signalling how cool he is with old punk shirts. Jesus. Rick should be embarrassed for entertaining this fake hack.

I’m not exactly sure why but I started crying while watching this. Wes feels like the big brother I never had. Thank you for being you.

have been listening from the start and it's cool to see visuals coming in.
the cut 1:10:07 is powerful, kudos to whomever is editing
Excellent talk Loved listening to Wes talk about his evolution of his life & work Grazie Rick
Never heard of him before till now, absolutely love his work and am inspired. Thanks Rick, keep doing interviews like this
Rubie, you're only seeing values with those glasses on. Thanks for interviewing a visual artist!
In Wes' interpratations of his own work, there is often breathing-room for mystery as an underlying spirit.
This is inspiring. Love from Kenya 🇰🇪
Big Thanks to the team.
magical thank you rick thank you wes ❤🙏🫡✨💫🧩
Loved this! Thank you Rick. Wasn't familiar with Lang's work. Truly amazing.
Second time watching. Love love love his story. Thank you Rick. More visual artists please
As a painter, I absolutely love this, more of it please Rick 🙏❤🙂
Why is the dark mix muddy.Needs a lot more blue!
Anthony O Grady Facebook.I did this dark stuff starting off.Ive got a lot brighter.
amazing video, both guys and the art are incredible
This was the best episode yet.
I would love to hear Rick Ruben talk to Odd Nerdrum the Norwegian painter about art and life. I think both men would have an appreciation for the other's perspectives on life, art and philosophy. Both have that Prophet vibe.
Great conversation! In particular, I love the reading from the Tao De Ching. Thank you both for your gift.
goosebumps at the end of it! What a great episode!
More things like this pls
Thank you this is great
Am I weird for being so pumped about this video?
No. Another one over here 👋
Very motivating, recognizable and clear. Great questions. Thank you ✨
Beautiful, thank you.
More in person podcasts please!
Beyond fantastic!!
Loooooove this episode! Thanks Rick!! 🖤🔥
Thank you ❤
Masterpieces, and insane studio space.
This is childish, and hearing him explain in depth just for Rick to say. "Ya, it's Big," says it all.
Mid art
Very happy to see this
Don’t Eat The Yellow Snow is actually several years earlier than Joe’s Garage (‘79); it’s on Apostrophe (‘74), which btw has a brand new release for its 50 anniversary.
Okay just started, I already know I’m gonna love this one, he’s got a JFA shirt! My friend Lily’s dad Corey Stretz plays bass for them. Will edit my comment with an update once I finish watching 🙌
Thank you Rick
Im enjoying this

you're such a good interviewer
Wes and Rick!!!! LFG
Wes Lang is a badass: thanks RICK RUBIN
Thank you
Superb.
Love the reading of the Tao
Amazing
I heard of him after his paintings on the new Avenged Sevenfold´s record. Wes is amazing
This is my kind of neurodivergent. Thank you for making this.
good chat, gentlemen.
wow, i forgot about drawing battlestar gallatica ships, thanks
This is amazing
Wes Lang is such an inspiration 🔥
JFA shirt.. Placebo Records. Wes Lang has resurfaced. Rubin and Wes. Should be good.
i love it 👌🏻
Song The Fool on The hill this reading from the Tao reminds me of Maharishi
Still chasing the dragon (‘s arm)
Is Wes wearing a JFA tee shirt??
❤❤❤
Did this guy paint the picture in The Royal Tenembaums?
How Rick got
Shallow water

Aptly visual. Your variability in the content creation realm is inspiring to continue to tickle the right creative modality in novelty.

Jodie fosters army
Rick I would like to invite you into my home to see some art and to investigate new realms of imaginary worlds
The Men who contributed to Yeezus heavily. Random thought
painting skulls ok
is this for real? felt more and more like typical parody sketch the longer it dragged on. ingenuine LA bs artist speak . . nothing new. cliche. shallow. . name drop name drop blah blah. RR couldn't even act like he believed what this guy was saying half the time.
couldnt agree more
yea ngl wasnt feeling this one
He's a sober self obsessed artist with no self awareness so it comes off as satire or ironic. pretty common but im surprised he hasn't grown past that and just be real.
he should take some color theory classes. the art looks copy and paste collage junk. the composition is elementary, id recommend revisiting Degas
I love harmonised palettes like you're saying, but I think his work benefits from the crudeness like James Ensor, gives it dark humour that I think he is going for
Wanksta bs.
His art is just a rip-off of Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Listening to artists talk about their work is cringe. They are so self-obsessed and self-important.

😂 I thought the same but none of us are perfect, he just doesn't know how to abbreviate wtf he's trying to say.
Rick Ruben is the worst producer $3 does nothing
Glorified hacks.
Explain?
@@MRCFRMINL To do so may imply that I care.
@@ChrisC-ei2kc you already commented on a TH-cam video so you do care very much so lol
Lol terrible paintings
