In this episode, British artist Marcus Dove talks about how art saved him from a prison sentence, how he came to use explosives as his way of mark making in what he calls “creation through destruction”, how he adapted a missile launcher to blast paint on to his canvas, how his process once put him in hospital, how he used figurative narrative to examine human relationships and how he has recently tended towards complete abstraction.
