Artists Talk with LVA: January 29, 2026

Thaniel Lee joins us to discuss his first curatorial effort, Market Boom: Emerging Artists from Louisville’s East Market District 2000–2008, the day before it opens at WheelHouse Art. Tune in to WXOX 97.1 FM / Artxfm.com each Thursday at 10 am to hear Artists Talk with LVA.

Thaniel Ion Lee's work explores both the body and the mind. His work attempts to make the viewer look beyond the everyday by juxtaposing unrelated symbols and words to force the viewer to connect concepts that are normally separated in the viewer's mind.

Lee's work has been exhibited at the Speed Art Museum, the Kentucky Museum of Art + Craft, and was represented at Swanson Contemporary in Louisville, KY from 2005 to 2019. His work can be found in the collections of the KMAC Museum, 21c Museum Hotels, the University of Louisville, as well as in private collections across Kentucky, California, and New York, among others.

Louisville based artist and gallerist Billy Hertz & gallerist Susan Moremen discuss his upcoming exhibit at Moremen Gallery. Tune in to WXOX 97.1 FM / Artxfm.com each Thursday at 10 am to hear Artists Talk with LVA.

Words like “legend”, and “pioneer” have been easily attached to artist and gallerist Billy Hertz. A gallery operator for more than 30 years, Billy Hertz has evolved his semi-abstract landscapes to a pared down form and composition, allowing the balance of abstract and representational to exist with tension.

On November 1, he will open his latest solo exhibition at Moremen Gallery. Susan Moremen opened her gallery in 2017.
