Описание: In this interview, the Philadelphia artist breaks down how everyday people, 70s–80s nostalgia, and the rhythms of jazz and hip-hop fuel his work.
You’ll hear Oronde reflect on:
Why his figures embody Black pride, cool, and heroism.
How Germantown, Philly, shaped his eye for culture.
The influence of Earth, Wind & Fire, Quincy Jones, Marvin Gaye and more.
Why nostalgia isn’t escape — it’s a way to slow down today’s fast culture.
The cinematic, jazz-like feel that makes his paintings move.
📍 Recorded at Firehouse Arts Studio 201, Germantown (Philadelphia)
