October 04, 2021Considering Art Podcast – Felicity Marshall, painter and illustrator
In this latest podcast, Australian painter and illustrator Felicity Marshall talks about how disaster struck her in the 1980s, how she is inspired by the nature in the Victorian coastal area in which she lives, how she trained in classical ballet in addition to studying Fine Art, how 17 years working in the film industry influenced her artistic style, and how she began illustrating and, subsequently, writing children’s books.

September 20, 2021 Considering Art Podcast – Philipp Humm, business mogul turned artist
Sculptor, painter and photographer Philipp Humm tells how he became a business man having failed to get into art school, how he kept up his art during a glittering career in the high tech industry until the urge to become a full-time artist overcame him, and how he has updated and condensed Goethe’s Faust to address modern issues, in particular the concern that our seemingly insatiable desire for technological innovation, most notably in Artificial Intelligence (AI), threatens the very survival of the human race.

August 16, 2021Considering Art Podcast – Walking The Line with Megan Piper and Sophie Dutton
This summer, works by four notable artists have been added to The Line, London’s first public art walk founded six years ago by Megan Piper and Clive Dutton. Sculptures by Virginia Overton, Eva Rothschild, Tracey Emin and Madge Gill have been added to the northern section alongside the River Lea. The last is a little-known but important local artist with a classic story of triumph over adversity. Her work has been curated for this outdoor exhibition by Sophie Dutton, Clive’s daughter. In this podcast, Sophie and Megan (l to r above, by the bridge with Madge Gill design) guide me along this last mile-long section where we take in nature and history as well as art.

August 02, 2021Considering Art Podcast – Piers Secunda, painter/sculptor
In our latest podcast, British artist Piers Secunda explains why he developed a technique to paint in a way that dispenses with the canvas, how 9/11 changed his life, how he documents the systematic destruction of cultural artefacts, statues and buildings through his paintings, and his dramatic and emotional experiences on trips to China, Afghanistan and Iraq to collect moulds of art desecration.

In this podcast episode, painter Eleanor Moreton talks about how she sees the home as a place of dysfunction and repression, her use of history as a metaphor for the personal, her interest in murderers, how and why she has reversioned classic Pre-Raphaelite works, how folk traditions can be used as a method of control, and much, much more.

July 19, 2021 Considering Art Podcast – Emma Coop, landscape artist
In my latest podcast episode, Emma Coop tells how flux in her personal life turned her from a conceptual artist into one focusing on landscape. She explains why she favours using chunky graphite sticks as her main medium, how she has an affinity with nature despite being a city dweller, and how she tries to recapture the emotion of an idea in her works while relishing ambiguity.
