Through thoughtful conversations with emerging and established photographers, filmmakers, designers, musicians, chefs, writers, and other creative voices, each episode explores how artists build sustainable practices, stay connected to their communities, and create work that reflects the world around them. More than interviews, these are stories about what it takes to build a creative life—the challenges, choices, and experiences that make art matter. For makers, culture lovers, and the creatively curious.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-23T14:20:52.257530+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-truth-in-this-art-stories-that-matter-1372723"},"episode":{"title":"Louis-Antoine Gilbert Interview: French-American Painter on Cubism, Moebius & Art Deco","slug":"louis-antoine-gilbert-interview-french-american-painter-on-cubism-moebius-art-deco","published_at":"2026-07-13T06:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-truth-in-this-art-stories-that-matter-1372723/louis-antoine-gilbert-interview-french-american-painter-on-cubism-moebius-art-deco","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-truth-in-this-art-stories-that-matter-1372723","url":"https://www.thetruthinthisart.com/episodes/louis-antoine-gilbert-interview","audio_url":"https://op3.dev/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/prfx.byspotify.com/e/media.transistor.fm/acefc9ab/a1f42d26.mp3","summary":"In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Louis-Antoine Gilbert ! About Louis-Antoine Gilbert : French-American painter and artist known for his acrylic on canvas works that create the illusion of depth, living in Washington, DC for nearly a decade, creating colorful acrylic cityscapes inspired by brutalist and modernist architecture, art deco design, and graphic novels by Moebius , François Schuiten , and Benoît Peeters . His cubist-influenced work draws from M.C. Escher and Wassily Kandinsky , and he's also a musician, beat maker, and painting instructor. In our conversation, Gilbert talks through growing up in Paris with parents who brought him to free museums and concerts, first wanting to be an artist at age four after seeing an orchestra, and starting with graffiti following older kids in the streets. He connects his journey from Parisian punk bands to DC's basement show scene and digs into how DC's greenery—particularly Rock Creek Park —has transformed his gray, Parisian-inspired compositions into more hopeful work with vegetation. As he puts it, discovering DC made him realize \"both cities, both of them have brutalist and modern buildings in them.\" He recalls meeting artist Autumn Spears early in his DC years, shares stories from selling affordable original drawings at the Little DuPont flea market every six weeks, and discusses learning that French house music actually originated from Detroit . We get into the realities of teaching painting in summers, the influence of graphic novels from his dad's collection, and how nearly a decade in DC has made him rethink the art deco shapes he loved from Paris .
