In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Sara Reeve (@SaraReeveDraws) Sara Reeve is a Brighton-based painter and tutor with a primary focus on portraiture and painting people. Her work is characterised by strong use of colour, bold shapes, and impactful compositions. Drawing inspiration from both observation and photography, she has a particular interest in portraying women in her paintings. Sara works with oil paints, a medium she finds ideal for capturing the visceral essence of flesh and faces. As a tutor at Draw Brighton, Sara leads regular evening courses on Painting Portraits in Oils, weekend workshops on Self-Portraiture, and weekly online life-drawing sessions. She also teaches Life Drawing and Portraiture to local artist groups and schools in the community. In her personal practice, Sara explores the dynamic tension between subject and viewer, often focusing on a direct gaze. Her work delves into the interaction between what a painting communicates to its audience and the emotional response it evokes. Through her art, Sara aims to uncover deeper layers of connection with both the sitter and the viewer. Sara was participated in Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year, which lead to her being invited to host her own Sky Arts Masterclass episode.

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Carrie Jean Goldsmith (@CarrieJeanGoldsmith) Carrie Jean Goldsmith is a Canadian-born artist residing in the UK, celebrated for her abstract paintings that emphasize colour, light, and tonal gradation. Her creative process involves layering various media, embracing diverse brush marks and the luminosity of paint to produce unforeseen outcomes. This method allows her to craft imagery that is both compelling and ambiguous, often evoking a sense of light and occasionally drawing subtle connections to landscapes without being site-specific. Over more than two decades, Carrie's artistic journey has evolved from representational landscapes to a more abstract and gestural approach. Initially inspired by Canadian artist Emily Carr, she began by painting trees and forests, gradually deconstructing these images into shapes and light. The constraints of the COVID-19 lockdowns prompted her to adopt a looser style, characterised by broad swathes of colour and visible brushstrokes, leading to a more intuitive and expressionistic technique. In her studio practice, Goldsmith begins her day by completing ongoing works to reacquaint herself with her materials and techniques before embarking on new pieces.She often prepares multiple canvases in advance, allowing her the freedom to explore and experiment without interruption. This approach underscores her commitment to spontaneity and the celebration of serendipitous discoveries in her art.

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Daisy Collingridge (@Daisy_Collingridge) Daisy Collingridge is a artist renowned for her unique and thought-provoking textile sculptures. A graduate of Central Saint Martins with a background in fashion design, her work bridges the gap between fine art, sculpture, and costume.Her creations are imaginative, surreal, and often playful, characterised by their fleshy, anthropomorphic forms made from intricately stitched layers of fabric. These pieces, which she refers to as "Squishies," explore themes of human anatomy, identity, and the boundaries of the body. Daisy uses materials like Lycra, jersey, and wadding to craft tactile, exaggerated forms that are both grotesque and endearing. Her sculptures often evoke visceral responses, challenging perceptions of beauty and bodily norms while maintaining an underlying sense of humour. Collingridge's work has been exhibited in galleries across the UK and internationally, capturing attention for its innovative approach to textile art. Through her practice, she continues to push the boundaries of materiality and storytelling in contemporary sculpture.

What if the mind could fish for ideas just as easily as one casts a line into the sea? Join us on a voyage into the enigmatic world of the late David Lynch as we explore his profound influence on creativity. From the haunting landscapes of "Twin Peaks" to the visceral imagery in "Eraserhead," Lynch's work has left an indelible mark on the arts. We share personal stories about encountering Lynch's films for the first time and how his distinct vision has shaped our own artistic paths. The episode also highlights Lynch's unique approach to capturing ideas, likening them to fish swimming in the vast ocean of our subconscious, just waiting to be caught with the right amount of patience and silence.The art of meditation takes center stage in our conversation, revealing how it can be a powerful tool for achieving balance in your studio practice. By examining David Lynch's philosophy and the insights from his book "Catching the Big Fish," we delve into how meditation aids in nurturing the true self. This introspective journey includes reflections on the wisdom of philosophers like Donald Winnicott, historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln and musical poets like Nick Cave, with anecdotes that illustrate how meditation serves as both a shield and a weapon against life's inevitable challenges. The discussion underscores the importance of clarity and focus in the pursuit of artistic expression.In the quest for creative freedom, we navigate the essentialism and the balance between light and darkness in the artistic journey. We uncover the liberating potential of saying no to distractions, embracing the mystery of the unknown, and documenting fleeting thoughts to ensure they aren't lost to time. Practical tips come to life, offering listeners ways to capture inspiration through journaling and other methods.

Born in 1945, Logan is best known for his unique sculptures, mosaics, and installations that incorporate mirrored glass, colourful resins, and a variety of unconventional materials. His creations exude a sense of joy, whimsy, and theatricality, reflecting his fascination with beauty and individuality.

This unconventional pageant celebrates creativity and self-expression, drawing inspiration from traditional beauty contests but focusing on art and imagination rather than conventional standards. His works have been exhibited in prestigious galleries and museums worldwide, and he is credited with bridging the gap between fine art and popular culture. Logan's playful, boundary-pushing style has made him a beloved figure in contemporary art, embodying a spirit of celebration and artistic freedom that continues to inspire audiences globally.

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Patrick MaguirePatrick Maguire was the youngest member of the "Maguire Seven," a group wrongfully convicted in the 1970s for involvement in IRA bombings in Guildford and Woolwich. At just 13 years old, he was arrested alongside his family in December 1974. The Maguire Seven were accused of operating a bomb-making factory from their London home, based on dubious forensic evidence. Patrick was sentenced to four years in prison, during which he endured solitary confinement and significant psychological trauma. The convictions of the Maguire Seven were eventually quashed in 1991, acknowledging the miscarriage of justice they had suffered. In the years following his release, Patrick Maguire turned to art as a means of coping with his experiences. His work often reflects the darkness and confinement he endured during his imprisonment. In 2017, he held an exhibition titled "Out from the Darkness," marking a transition from his earlier, darker pieces to works embracing more colour and light. Additionally, Patrick co-authored a memoir, "My Father's Watch: The Story of a Child Prisoner in 70s Britain," detailing his experiences and the impact of the wrongful convictions on his life and family. Patrick Maguire's story stands as a poignant reminder of the profound personal consequences of miscarriages of justice.

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Tim Fowler (@timjfowler) Tim Fowlers semi abstracted paintings, informed by the migratory plants that accompanied his own DNA, from west Africa, via the Caribbean to the UK, fill his often oversized canvases, overwhelming the viewer with striking compositions, executed in Tim's signature palette. Tim's main concern within his work is exploring the colour field. Although vivid Tim's works are invariably balanced, using a signature colour palette of extremely bright and intense hues makes his work distinctly recognisable.He uses a variety of medium within his work combining oil, acrylic, spray, enamel and graffiti inks. Tim subverts traditional and contemporary methods of applying these mediums using brushes, different aperture caps and marker paint mops to orchestrate purposeful marks, strokes, drips, scrapes and smears across the canvas whilst constructing his exciting and dynamic artworks.Using found and made images as a starting point. Tim builds layers of pigment, adding abstract fragments as well as bold marks, broken lines and liberal strokes to create contours and features, be they of botanicals, building facades, silver screen legends or intimate family scenes. Doing this captures something more interesting than literal representation. This visceral connection to colour is palpably intuitive to Tim, using it as an expression of internal contemplations. Over the many years of Tim's career this organic relationship with paint and colour has developed and shines through, as he experiments with opacity, texture combinations, finishes and light. The deconstruction of his subject is rebuilt in a cacophony of colour turning recognisable features into their base elements to highlight unseen splendour.

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Jeremy Deller (@jeremydeller) Jeremy Deller is a British conceptual artist renowned for his innovative and socially engaged practice. His work often explores history, politics, memory, and collective identity, blending art with performance, video, and community involvement.Deller's approach is notable for its inclusivity—he often collaborates with non-professional participants to produce work that challenges traditional notions of art and authorship. One of his most significant works is The Battle of Orgreave (2001), a reenactment of the violent 1984 miners' strike confrontation between police and striking miners. The project addressed themes of working-class struggle, historical memory, and the spectacle of violence, raising questions about how history is remembered and represented. This immersive approach to historical events would become a hallmark of Deller's practice. Other notable works include English Magic (2013), a politically charged series that critiques British national identity, capitalism, and inequality. Deller's work often critiques social and political structures while encouraging dialogue and participation. In 2004, he won the Turner Prize for his ability to redefine art's relationship to both the public and its cultural contexts. Deller's work continues to reflect his belief that art should engage with and speak to the world around it, often offering new ways of understanding the past, present, and future.

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to John Costi (@bapou_costi) This is John Costi's second appearance on the Ministry of Arts Podcast, the first being ep.48. He is known for his conceptual and often collaborative work, which explores themes of culture, identity, and history. In 2012, Costi had a notable experience traveling to Venice with artist Jeremy Deller. The trip was part of a project facilitated by the Koestler Trust, an organization that supports creative work by prisoners, ex-offenders, and young people at risk. Deller, a renowned artist known for his interest in social contexts, invited Costi to join him in Venice during the Venice Biennale, where they explored the intersections of art, prison reform, and personal narrative. This journey allowed Costi to engage in a broader dialogue about the transformative potential of art, especially for marginalized communities. The Venice trip exemplified Costi's approach to art-making—collaborative, reflective, and deeply attuned to the social and political dimensions of creative expression. John and Jeremy have co-curated Koestler Arts' annual exhibition at Southbanks, Royal festival Hall, ‘No Comment' runs until 15th December.

"What you get is what you life for" - ShaolinInfluencer. Isra Garcia interviews Coach Shen (known as ShaolinInfluencer) about living the Shaolin experience, street dancing, fighting, teaching Shaolin combat, the influence of dancing, building your character, mastering oneself, looking for the Shaolin Way, and more. Sometimes, life brings us to places where tradition and modernity collide, and in that intersection, we meet people who transform how we see the world. This is one of those stories. Years ago, Isra Garcia found himself stepping through the gates of the Shaolin Temple Europe, a place steeped in ancient wisdom and timeless discipline. It was here, surrounded by the serenity of the monastery and the powerful rhythm of martial arts, that Isra first encountered Coach Shen (Xiao Shen), known as ShaolinInfluencer—a change agent and disruptor who redefines what it means to live the Shaolin way. "The more unconscious about my body, the more I feed my consciousness" - ShaolinInfluencer. His paths crossed amidst the temple's unique atmosphere, where silence and movement create a language of their own. Coach Shen stood out—not just as a teacher of Shaolin arts, but as someone who seamlessly blends combat techniques, mindful living, and the boundless energy of breakdance and free form movement. His presence, his energy, and his philosophy captivated Isra, sparking a connection that has stayed with us ever since. Today, in this very special episode, Isra sits down with Coach Shen (ShaolinInfluencer) for an intimate and dynamic conversation. Together, we explore his journey, his evolution as a Shaolin instructor, and how he balances the ancient and the modern to craft a teaching style that is as innovative as it is rooted in tradition. "If every day you combine one movement, at the end of the year you have 365 moves" - Shaolin Influencer. In the heart of Europe, at the Shaolin Temple Europe, emerges a figure who perfectly embodies the fusion of ancient tradition and modernity: Coach Shen. As an instructor at this Buddhist monastery located in Otterberg, Germany, Coach Shen not only imparts the ancient teachings of Shaolin but also enriches them with contemporary elements, creating a truly unique experience for his students. Coach Shen's life is a testament to the harmonious integration of seemingly contrasting disciplines and lifestyles. His training in Shaolin martial arts has granted him a deep understanding of Kung Fu, traditional combat and other traditional practices. Yet, his passion for movement led him to explore breakdance and freestyle dance, disciplines that demand exceptional agility, strength, and creativity. "I influence the modern side and the Shaolin side" - ShaolinInfluencer. His disruptive approach has resonated within the Shaolin Temple Europe community, attracting students eager for a learning experience that transcends traditional teachings. Through his instruction, Coach Shen proves that martial arts and dance are not opposing disciplines but complementary paths to self-discovery and personal mastery. In this episode, we'll delve into Coach Shen's journey, his teaching philosophy, and how he has seamlessly woven the ancient art of Shaolin with the vibrant expressions of modern movement. Join us on this journey to discover how tradition and innovation can coexist and enrich each other in the pursuit of balance and inner harmony. "When dancing, whenever you want to do it, you do it...

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Ange Bell (@angebellart) “My work focuses on the themes of origins and belonging and it is this concern that has formed the basis of my practice. Whether collecting and working from found photographs or, as in recent months, working from selfies taken by Instagram users.” “Through the act of painting I reclaim and invigorates with added permanence and significance, a moment lost in the instant it occurred. Within the portraits there is an echo of that which is lost and sought, it speaks at times to our sense of nostalgia, and at others to our desire to be seen, recognised and valued. The act of retrieving and reviving is at the core of my practice, from the sourcing of material to the process of painting itself.” “Creating detailed studies in oil, and through a process of working back in to the surface and exploring mark making techniques, I distort, eliminate and manipulate the image to create a visual language. I aim to create a portrait that not only captures a likeness but also has a vibrancy and depth to it as well as the desire to create a painting with which the viewer can establish a point of communication.” For more information on the work of Ange Bell go tohttps://www.angebellart.com To Support this podcast from as little as £3 per month: www.patreon/ministryofarts For full line up of confirmed artists go to https://www.ministryofarts.orgEmail: ministryofartsorg@gmail.comSocial Media: @ministryofartsorg Hosted on Acast.
