Klara Kristalova constructs an odd yet familiar world, inhabited by figures evoking rawness, vulnerability, and humanity.

In this episode, he talks about several surrealists’ women.

Gabriel de la Mora's works are made from found, discarded, and obsolete objects. In an obsessive process of collecting and fragmenting materials the Mexican artist creates seemingly minimal surfaces that belie great technical complexity, conceptual rigor, and embedded information. In this episode, Gabriel de la Mora talks about the legendary abstract painter Mark Rothko. In The Love of Art podcast, artists are invited to speak about other artists that fascinate them (musicians, writers, filmmakers, actors, designers…) in a very personal way.

Précurseur du renouveau de la céramique dans l'art contemporain, l'artiste Johan Creten travaille de façon itinérante depuis près de quarante ans, du Mexique à l’Italie, de la Suède à la Belgique.

Dans cet épisode, il a choisi de nous parler d’un artiste parmi les plus influents et les plus controversés du 20e siècle : Joseph Beuys.

Emma Webster’s landscape paintings teleport viewers into the otherworldly. The places she depicts, convincing and hallucinatory, merge spatial expectations with mystifying fantasy.

In this episode, Emma Webster talks about one of the most prominent American Romantic landscape painter Frederic Church.

Née au Chili et vivant désormais à Paris, l’artiste Christiane Pooley explore le lieu, à la fois comme un environnement physique et un état émotionnel qui transcende le temps et les frontières géographiques. Ses peintures et ses gravures mêlent souvenirs et images d'archives pour créer des espaces entre rêve et réalité. Aujourd’hui, elle a choisi de nous parler d’une figure clef de l’histoire de l’art et de l’impressionnisme : Claude Monet.

Born in Nagano, Japan, Susumu Kamijo has lived and worked in New York for more than 20 years. Influenced by Francis Bacon and Willem de Kooning, his paintings of poodles quickly attracted significant attention. In his work, the poodle becomes a clever device, a motif reminding us that Kamijo’s subject is first and foremost painting itself. In a playfully meditative style, his work continues to develop in a way that surprises, provokes, and transforms our ways of seeing. In this episode, Susumu talks about Japanese writer Sayaka Murata, one of contemporary Japanese literature’s most striking prose stylists.

Painter and sculptor Pieter Vermeersch is based between Belgium and Italy. Since several decades, his practice has explored states of in-between-ness: his work glides between aesthetic and conceptual opposites: ephemeral and concrete; emptiness and architecture; subjective perception and observable reality. His exhibitions are ingenious systems of perception which put into practice the divisions of time and space. In this episode, Pieter Vermeersch talks about the leading figure of pop art movement Andy Warhol. Enjoy!
