Simon Casson is internationally acclaimed for his meticulous paintings based on the Renaissance style but with a modern twist. In this episode, he talks about his African upbringing, how seeing a Renaissance work in the National Gallery as a child had a profound impact upon him, where his style of adapting the Renaissance style originated, how he tries to create a modern narrative and to build up fragments of time in his works, his strange titles, how he employs mathematical principles in his process, how his paintings have evolved over time and how he tackles commissions.
