Erin-Atlanta Argun is joined by artist, art advisor, and social media sensation Richard Williamson, known to his online following as McKay Williamson.

Richard has been sharing his perspective on art via Instagram and TikTok since 2022, building an audience of over 380,000 people drawn to his ability to make the art world feel accessible and alive. His recurring series "Is this art?" has become a fan favourite, using his framework of three Ns (Novelty, Nuance, and Narrative) to interrogate whether a given work truly earns that title.Beyond his platforms, Richard is the founder of McKay Williamson, a London-based art gallery and creative advisory. He is also a practising artist himself, making work rooted in the deeply personal, guided by a belief that the stories behind art are what make people truly cherish it, and that art is absolutely vital to human joy.Erin first encountered Richard at London Art Fair, where she popped the Excuse Me question, and his answer in that moment was a signed Banksy, Love Is In The Air.Across the conversation, Erin and Richard explore what it means to connect with art on a personal level, the role of storytelling in how we value and collect, and the works that have left a lasting mark on Richard himself. And of course, he shares his five dream artworks and the stories behind each one, which you'll discover in this episode.Season 2, Episode 2 of the Excuse Me podcast by MyArtBroker.
