Their work will be shown as part of the Born To exhibition at British Art Fair this September.The ArtistRichard Wilshire studied Art and Design at university in the 1990s, but found himself pulled into the early digital media industry, designing websites, and gradually moving away from making into management and strategy. By the early 2020s he felt something was missing, and began making again quietly in his garden garage, working with offcuts of wood and found objects. This year Richard was shortlisted for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, a significant milestone for a practice that, until now, has existed mostly on his website and Instagram. This will be his first public showing.Featured works: Nature vs Nurture, Waveform, Autumn Oak & Four Letter WordWebsite: www.richardwilshire.com Instagram: @richardwilshirePensionBeeThis episode's PensionBee segment asks: why do women need to engage with their pensions even more?Thank you to our partner PensionBee, a leading online pension provider on a mission to build pension confidence so that everyone can enjoy a happy retirement.

Welcome to Saints and Their Signifiers!Have you ever stood in front of a painting and wondered why that saint is holding a wheel, a sword, or a lamb — and what it all means? You're in the right place.Saints and Their Signifiers is Season 5 of Jo's Art History Podcast, and this time we're doing something a little different. Rather than our usual format, this season is fully thematic — diving deep into one rich subject across every episode: the iconography of Christian saints.We'll be unpacking the symbols, attributes, and visual clues that artists have used for centuries to tell their stories — exploring why that saint is holding a key, a lily, or a severed head, and what it reveals about the world in which these works were made.Whether you're a long-time listener coming back for another season, or a newcomer drawn in by the art on your feed, you're very welcome here. No prior knowledge needed — just a love of art and a curiosity about the world behind the image.We can't wait to share this season with you. Subscribe now, and we'll see you in the first episode.We'll see you soon!

In this episode of Jo's Art History Podcast, Jo McLaughlin is thrilled to welcome back to the podcast art historian, writer and comedian Verity Babbs, who is here to talk to me about her brand-new book, The History of Art (In One Sentence).The book's synopsis is as follows:What's so special about Dutch paintings of cheese? When does Art Nouveau become Art Deco? Why were the Pre-Raphaelites obsessed with gingers? Who thought it was a good idea to put a big dead shark on display? In this book, comedian and art historian Verity Babbs journeys through 50 key art movements across history, answering 10 questions for each in just one sentence. Within these fascinating, and sometimes hilarious, nuggets of art wisdom, Verity covers everything from who inspired the movement and its impact on history, to the key artists and artworks for each. Spanning 500 years – from the Renaissance to the Young British Artists – this wonderfully illustrated book is for anyone who wants to learn more about art and also have a little giggle along the way.Guest Details:Verity Babbs - UK-based Find Verity online:Website: https://www.veritybabbs.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/veritybabbsartHost Details:Jo McLaughlin is the creator and host of Jo's Art History Podcast, an art historian, writer, and passionate storyteller dedicated to making art history accessible and engaging for all.Find Jo online:Website: ⁠www.josarthistory.com⁠Instagram: @josarthistoryLinkedIn: Jo McLaughlinResources & References:You can purchase the book from all good retailers. Support the Podcast:If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and rating on whatever platform you are listening on.

Hello and welcome back to Jo's Art History Podcast. Today I'm joined by artist Phil Barton to discuss the groundbreaking artist Gustave Metzger. A pioneer of protest and political art activism, Metzger developed the concept of ⁠Auto-Destructive Art⁠ and the ⁠Art Strike⁠. He went on to forge a career which saw retrospectives held at TATE and The Serpentine Gallery. Metzger is an artist I had not come across and found endlessly fascinating as my conversation with Phil went on. It's an episode not to be missed. Thank you so much to Phil for being such a brilliant guest.

Hello and welcome back this week we are talking all thing Faves and Fauvism with British artist Loïs Cordelia.  Fauvism  is a style of painting and an art movement that emerged in France at the beginning of the 20th century. It was the style of les Fauves (French for the wild beasts), a group of modern artists whose works emphasised painterly qualities and strong colour over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism.

Hello and welcome back to Jo's Art History Podcast. This week I speak to artist Emma Hoten about the British Landscape painter, Fred  Cuming RA. Fred is an artist I knew nothing about and, as I admit in the episode, would never really have paid attention to. But Emma's passion for Fred's work is infectious and I loved recording this episode with her. It not only taught me about a British Landscape artist but it showed me that I too, pigeon hole the art I look at and make assumptions. It's always nice to broaden your horizons - no pun intended.  I hope you enjoy.
