'Art is a Lie That Tells The Truth' with Chris Dobrowolski
Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me, your host Caroline Partridge. Today I have the absolute pleasure of talking to artist, sculptor, and performer Chris Dobrowolski. Apart from being a brilliant artist, Chris is an exceptional storyteller and in our entertaining conversation, he recounts his journey into art as well as his attempted escape from Art School. He explains the influence of the deceptive nature of modern-day post-truth politics on his latest work, and we discuss the importance of experimentation in art, the emergence of the YBAs, and ask how do you measure what makes a successful artist?
Please join me as we look at art through a different lens.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You learn by trying new things and sometimes failing.
- When portraying the real world, you need to include elements that reflect the truth.
- Art reflects your perception of the world.
- Chris’ art is often shared as performance lectures, or explanations that are conducted through unexpected mediums.
- Young British Artists (YBA) is a great example of incredible marketing.
- Art is no longer just about sculptures or something that is hung on walls.
- When you look at art and your interaction with that art you become part of the art, making it live.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It's not about being the best drawer, it's not about being the best at XYZ. It's about exploring things. ´
‘There's something inherently paradoxical about the artistic process.’
‘My work is about what’s true and what’s a lie.’
‘There´s a difference between reacting and responding.’

PODCAST DESCRIPTION
This is a podcast series about discovery, understanding, revelation, and stories.
How we perceive the world is rooted in everything that has influenced us throughout our lives, emotionally and psychologically. We become the sum of our parts and each of us has our own unique view of the world. 'Vision' truly is an act of interpretation.
In this podcast series through fascinating conversations, I set about trying to understand how we form our perceptions, view different perspectives, and examine how perception has influenced, inspired, or hindered the lives of each of my unique guests.
