Season 8 continues!!! Russell & Robert meet leading artist Lindsey Mendick in Margate on the eve of Robert's 40th birthday!!!

We adore the autobiographical works of Lindsey Mendick whose personal memories are launchpads for complex, ambitious immersive installations filled to the brim with wild and exuberant ceramic sculptures and more recently paintings and textile works (which she collaborates on with her mother). Mendick's work has a gothic sensibility with themes of gruesomeness, disgustingness and repulsion frequently reappearing. Her oeuvre is an exhilarating exploration of the abject in everyday banality. We discuss her recent show at CCA Goldsmiths curated by Sarah McCrory, her partnership with artist Guy J Oliver and their new project space in Margate called QUENCH.

Visit Lindsey's official website www.lindseymendick.com/ and follow her on Instagram @LindseyMendick

Plus please visit, support and follow QUENCH Gallery, the new artist space @QuenchGallery in Margate, Kent.

Linsey's work will be on display in Spring 2021 at Carl Freedman Gallery, Margate as part of group show 'Breakfast Under the Tree' curated by Russell Tovey.

Whilst her forthcoming solo show will be at Cooke Latham Gallery, London.
