Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Sergei Isupov. Through his unique blend of figure sculpture and drawing he investigates the internal and external forces that shape human relationships. In our interview we talk about his approach to narrative, growing up in a family of artists, and how current events, including the war in Ukraine, affect his work. To find out more about Sergei visit sergeiisupov.com.
