wesley: [00:00:00] Hey, good and swirl. This is Wesley Pepper. Yeah. And this is my podcast with the Peppers art Lexia, and is brought to you by Spudcaster and Baobulb. Um, and, uh, on that, uh, yo man, this is like recording of my 50th episode. Like. 50. So a big up despite Spudcaster and Baobulb being there, like they listen to my voice for 15 weeks.

[00:00:34] Right. Um, yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure they certainly have an ear full, um, big up to them for all of that, that I think that's quite an achievement for both of us. Um, And yeah, man, as you know, I've been talking up the whole thing of a giveaway, which I'm doing a 52nd episode and more beautiful follow at the outro.

[00:00:57] Uh, before we move on to today's episode, uh, first of all, big ups to violet. For coming through, uh, last week, like Mulberry dreams. Uh, really interesting, man. I think I really enjoyed speaking to, uh, um, about, uh, yeah man, I thought the way we, uh, spoke last week that we'll be back, uh, both as a brand or as a writer, you know what actually.

[00:01:24] Great. It was great. Uh, so thanks for coming. Um, um, to that, and on that, we're gonna kind of keep on that, um, lighter theme. Should I call it or at least today's and Allison barber and the writer, um, and she tours all the way from Bulawayo. So we spoke in to Bryony, Rheem. Order them. I'm not sure if I pronounce his surname correctly, we'll find out.

[00:01:49] Yeah, man. It should be in pronouncing names. Yeah. Um, yo man, she's pretty interesting. I she's, I'm going to be talking a little bit about, well, She's a, um, she's an award winning, um, I'm a writer and, um, she's just released her second book. Um, my second, um, novel and we'll be unpacking both that novel, but also a first one, the, of the September side and or this.

[00:02:11] September 2nd, it was better this way. Just thing, because the book actually got translated into Arabic. So that was, I find that really interesting. So we talking a little bit about that latest book or come to task, um, a little bit about highlighting what inspired and you know, she's based in Zim. Um, and you know what I, on this platform, I'm always interested in, uh, focusing on the artists.

[00:02:29] Processes and how they pretty much take their environment and interpret what, uh, you know, what's happening around them. And, and, and like, do you, my brothers and sisters from Zimbabwe, you know, like I've got much love for them, what they're doing there. So, uh, we will unpack a little bit about that if that, and to see what future project to use and so on and so on.

[00:02:50] And so I'm, yeah, I'm at least we'll back, um, or rather look forward to all of that. And, um, Yeah, I'll talk to you guys at the end of the episode, uh, with advice for future episodes and yeah, man, that's the 50th one. So I feel, I feel kind of that's a long week, 50, 50 weeks is a long time. It's a, it's a long time given that, um, you know, like this, um, this art thing, um, you know, we pretty much work as freelancers and to do something for 50 weeks on, on one, I think is quite a phenomenal achievement.

[00:03:21] So yeah, I mean, I think it's all the new listeners. Um, you know, and remember, you can always catch me on all my, uh, social media pages. So that's, where's the Pepper at Twitter. Twitter, Facebook and Instagram underscore Pepper underscore. So, yeah, but I'll, uh, talk more about all those other interesting things at the end of the episode.

[00:03:43] I hope you guys, uh, enjoyed today. You know, I'm definitely looking forward to it and, um, Yeah, man. It's um, let's see what Brian has to say. So stay tuned for that.

Wesley Pepper: [00:00:00] Hey everybody, this is wesley pepper and you are tuned in to my podcast. Wesley Pepper’s Art Lexica, and it's brought to you by Spudcaster. And Baobulb, uh, we are into episode 46. Um, I normally. Just forget to mention what episode we in, you know, but I'm always aware what episode I was recording. So we're close to that number 50 Mark man.

[00:00:33] And that gets me really excited because I'm like, I may say in the episodes I wanted to do a give away and now it's getting more and more like a reality. Uh, but I'll keep you up to speed with that, especially on my social media. And you can always check me out on Facebook @wesleypepper. Twitter @wesleypepper and, and, and, or Instagram, or even LinkedIn at say by the same name, Wesley pepper, but so you can give me, uh, you can catch me, um, or either find out what else has been coming, um, or coming.

[00:01:02] And what's happening on the show on those, on those handles. Um, yeah, man, moving on, let's talk about, uh, or rather last week's episode, with Dipou from Obtain art gallery for coming through. Um, You know, remember we spoke about, um, that group show that they were doing. And, um, one thing that always that's sitting in my mind from episode was the whole virtual gallery space.

[00:01:26] That's something I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on. And, um, yeah, most definitely will follow up on that. Absolutely. For sure. Because yeah, I mean, as you know, we try to, um, focus a lot on how arts is adapting. To technology, um, how we're using it, um, and all that type of thing.

[00:01:45] And I think that's super cool. So that's something really cool to look forward to, uh, today's episode. Um, I've got somebody really, um, I think, um, quite large, um, you know, well, you know, we'll break up how I, what I mean in that in the interview, but today I'll be talking to Zolile Petshane. Um, Mostly about his, um, solo show coming up on the 4th of April Lizamore and Associates fine art gallery, um, title, chaotic CBD, uh, you know, like I would classify zolile as a abstract artist, you know?

[00:02:23] Um, cause he does this really fantastic, interesting conceptual work. Um, and he uses it in a more mixed medium, but I know it's more oil pastel based. Um, and if you're really familiar with the medium oil pastel actually has a very, uh, I think it's, um, you know, it's greens and, and reds got a, got a very specific look and feel, um, colour I'm talking colour and, um, and texture.

[00:02:44] And I know Zolile as an absolute master of that because. Um, I'm quite familiar. I mean, um, I mean, I know personally for the longest time, but, um, I'm also quite familiar with this technique and I know you started off a many many years ago when APS needed those monoprints. So, um, we’re kind of going to track that, uh, the history of his process and how it's led up to that because oil has been making some massive moves and big up brother to that.

[00:03:07] Um, so we would be unpacking all of that. Um, and his show, his processes and how he feels about covid because, um, yeah, man, it's. The politics that aren't, this vaccine is becoming more and more political and I'm, I'm, I'm getting some wild fucking stories around it. So if this time I, you know, I'm going to pick his brain about that, but we can be focusing more on his work.

[00:03:31] And, um, yeah, man. So big up to all the new listeners, um, new and old. Um, I know you out there, um, I know you were listening in, I know you enjoying what you're listening and that's. Fucking great. That's awesome. Thank you for that. Uh, you know, in the past episodes, I was, I was sort of giving you a, um, or rather voicing my opinion...

Wesley Pepper: [00:00:00] Hey everybody, this is Wesley pepper. And you're tuned in to my podcast Wesley Pepper’s Art Lexica, which is brought to you by Spudcaster and Baobulb. Um, yeah, man. Um, just a quick disclaimer. Uh, I've actually been getting my episode numbers around, um, last week was actually episode 47. Today is 48. So we're closing in on the 50th episode.

[00:00:35] And as you know, I've got a thingy lined up for that. So, um, that art giveaways I'll, I'll give you guys more information, uh, with regards to that too, at the end of today's episode, uh, Let's just recap quickly on last week’s episode, big up to Zolile Petshane for coming through. Thanks my brother. Um, I, um, I really enjoyed talking to him last week.

[00:00:54] Um, unpacking his processes and how is, um, you know, how we use the color and, the texture and those symbols in his work, very, very interesting stuff. I'm definitely gonna be, uh, making a followup with him too, towards the end of the year to catch up on how he's working or rather how the progress is coming on for his, um, and he's got a, he's got another major show coming up in 2022.

[00:01:15] So big up. Thanks. Thanks my brother for coming through for that. Um, I'm not giving any gallery a shout out today, but this is usually the slot where I do that, so, uh, um, but, um, yeah, I’m in association with that art company Soweto and obtain art gallery. Yeah. Oh yeah. All those guys in the coming, uh, in the coming. You’ll be hearing more of them in the future, um, today's episode, um, I'm talking to a very, very interesting artist called Erica Luttich.

[00:01:51] She's actually I know her from the Johannesburg area, but I think she's now based in the Western Cape. So we will definitely find out about that a bit later. Um, I think she does a really fantastic, um, um, um, um, art. Um, she, she, she works with this embroidery. Um, you know, when you, uh, when you're pretty much use enbroidery as a paint brush, which I think is really, really fascinating, I think that technique is fantastic.

[00:02:15] And I think conceptually is also very brilliant talking about conceptual brilliance. She also does these very, very interesting installations, um, including lands, um, of a landscape art. I've I've, I've seen, she's worked in collaboration with a few other artists on that. And, uh, also the one that really stood out sticks out for me is those, um, and I don't know if this is the correct word, but a sort of a lollipop, uh, or rather where she just takes this frozen water from a dam or the ocean, you know, it's all the debris and or whatnot freezes it and sort of uses these, uh, frozen popsicles as a, as, as an installation and the, you know, there's, and then takes photographs that are, and I think the whole concept is quite brilliant.

[00:02:55] Um, and I think it really talks very strongly to, uh, global warming, et cetera. So, uh, we're going to be touching base on with all of that, with our processes, with where she draws inspiration from what should we be doing now, future projects, et cetera, et cetera. So definitely look forward to that. Um, yeah, I mean, um, I've been, um, in the past episodes I was, I was talking a lot about, about the, about those artists sitting in the national arts council sit-in.

[00:03:20] Um, as at the recording of this episode on the 17th. Um, of April that they are still there. Um, so I'm still definitely in...
