Slovak illustrator Martina Paukova has come a long way from originally studying politics to completely switching gears and moving to London — studying at Camberwell College of Arts — to now settling in Berlin. On her path, she developed a distinct style marked by her trademark vector lines, bold color palettes and flat character-driven subject matters, allowing her to accumulate an impressive client list spanning from Google, Apple and The New York Times to IKEA, The Economist, Die Zeit, and many more. Starting out in the illustration world as a “late bloomer” in her mid 20s, Martina relied on three different ways to land her first clients: University connections, referrals from previous industry projects and competitions (a.k.a. self initiated work). She explains how one job led to another and how having a set of recurring clients can bring financial stability to one's career, but can also lead to stagnation and hindering growth. As clients usually hire based on previous work to ensure a safe outcome, it is easy for artists to get stuck in the hamster wheel of repetition. Martina also points out the importance of not relying on a single way of finding clients (like an agent or referrals or one social media platform) and that as professional freelance illustrators we must be our own agency and find ways to motivate ourselves to grow both creatively and as a business. Even though life tends to get in the way and time for personal development is limited, Martina wants to keep experimenting — dabbling in 3D and textile illustration; maybe even knitting or sewing quilts — to keep herself and her clients excited for what's to come. We are definitely excited about Martina's path to becoming a professional illustrator, just as much as her useful industry insights and hilarious anecdotes like the one where she lost her Apple Pencil on the day of a deadline. _________ MENTIONED LINKS: • Reps: Agent Pekka & Making Pictures • Camberwell College of Arts • Illustrator on the iPad _________ FOLLOW MARTINA: Instagram: @martinapaukova Website: martinapaukova.com LinkedIn: Martina Paukova Twitter: x.com/martinapaukova _________ If you liked this episode, please subscribe and leave a review.

In Illustration and Heritage (Bloomsbury, 2024), Rachel Emily Taylor explores the re-materialisation of absent, lost, and invisible stories through illustrative practice and examines the potential role of contemporary illustration in cultural heritage. Heritage is a 'process' that is active and takes place in the present. In the heritage industry, there are opposing discourses and positions, and illustrators are a critical voice within the field. Grounding discussions in concepts fundamental to the illustrator, the book examines how the historical voice might be 'found' or reconstructed. Rachel Emily Taylor uses her own work and other illustrators' projects as case studies to explore how the making of creative work – through the exploration of archival material and experimental fieldwork – is an important investigative process and engagement strategy when working with heritage. What are the similar functions of heritage and illustration? How can an illustrator 'give voice' to a historical person? How can an illustrator disrupt an archive or museum? How can an illustrator represent a historical landscape or site? This book is a contribution to the expanding field of illustration research that focusses on its position in heritage practice. Taylor examines the illustrator's role within the field, while positioning it alongside the disciplines of museology, anthropology, archaeology, performance, and fine art. Dr Rachel Emily Taylor is an illustrator, artist, researcher, and is Course Leader on BA Illustration at Camberwell College of Arts. She uses interdisciplinary research methods drawn from theatre, archaeology, history, and anthropology, in both the analysis and making of practical work.

For Frieze Sculpture 2024, London-based multidisciplinary artist Fani Parali presents Aonyx and Drepan; two monumental steel armatures from which performers, as hybrid creatures, 'sing' to each other across a path in Regent's Park.In the video commissioned by Frieze, Parali describes the layered processes behind the 'lip-sync opera' she produces, 'I feel that it [the recorded voice] exists before and after everything else, and the performers then become like channels, like mediums for these voices to come through them.'Like Charon traversing the river Styx, Aonyx and Drepan represent gatekeepers guiding the viewer from one temporal zone to the next. Parali's practice is inspired by 'Deep Time', the 18th-century timescale used to plot non-anthropocentric geological events. In this ecologically destructive era, the work is a portal by which to view the vastness of geological time and think of ourselves as guardians of this, our own, brief epoch.Fani Parali (b. 1983 Greece) lives and works in London. She studied BA Sculpture at Camberwell College of Arts and completed her postgraduate studies at the Royal Academy Schools. Parali's practice includes sculpture, sound, performance, large-scale painting, drawing and moving image. Notable recent exhibitions include 'Aonyx and Drepan & The Minders of the Warm' at Southwark Park Galleries (2020). Her work is currently included in Hayward Galleries touring exhibition 'Acts of Creation: On Art and Motherhood' curated by Hetti Judah (2024).Frieze Sculpture returns to London's Regent's Park 18 September - 27 October 2024. The much-celebrated public art initiative coincides with Frieze London and Frieze Masters, which take place concurrently in The Regent's Park, 9 - 13 October. Curated by Fatoş Üstek, Frieze Sculpture has expanded for its 12th edition to include 22 leading international artists hailing from five continents, whose work will be sited throughout the park's historic English Gardens.Fani Parali (b. 1983 Greece) lives and works in London. She studied BA Sculpture at Camberwell College of Arts and completed her postgraduate studies at the Royal Academy Schools. Parali's practice includes sculpture, sound, performance, large-scale painting, drawing and moving image. She is renowned for the creation of ‘lip-sync' operas, in which performers mime synthesised audio works; ambitiously scaled installations that are at once other-worldly and deeply human. Parali's practice reflects on the concepts of ‘deep time', caregiving and the fragile interconnectivity of human experience. Notable recent exhibitions include ‘Aonyx and Drepan & The Minders of the Warm' at Southwark Park Galleries (2020).

Recording of our September 24th, 2024 webinar with Sarit Michaeli. This conversation was hosted by Madeleine Cereghino. Gaza and the Occupied Territories in general are at the forefront of conversations around the world– horrific medical scenarios, inhumane treatment of Palestinian civilians, and utterly abhorrent forms of abuse taking place in Israeli prisons and on the ground in Occupied land. B'Tselem is among the leading organizations serving as a resource for facts, figures, and personal stories and putting together the picture of just how dire the circumstances have become. To discuss the “humanitarian disaster zone” of the current Israel-Gaza war, we spoke with Sarit Michaeli, the International advocacy lead for B'Tselem. Sarit has been at B'Tselem since 2004 and coordinates the organization's work with international policymakers, diplomats, and civil society. Prior to her current role, Sarit was B'Tselem's media spokesperson and director of public outreach. Sarit documents demonstrations in the West Bank, with a focus on Israeli security forces and misuse of crowd control weapons, and is active in Israel's anti-Occupation movement. Sarit has an MA (Distinction) in Gender Studies from Birkbeck College, University of London, and a BA in graphic design from Camberwell College of Art, the London Institute. Prior to joining B'Tselem, Sarit worked as a journalist, graphic designer, and translator in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, London, and New York.

In this bonus episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Julie Bennett (@Julie_Bennett)Julie Bennett is a portrait painter living and working in London. Her bold, unapologetically confident portraits appropriate pop culture icons from the music industry and art world, creating contemporary homages to the likes of David Bowie, Elvis, Frida Kahlo, Boy George, Patti Smith, and Her Majesty The Queen.Defined as British Pop Art, her dripping wet, vibrant, colourful broad-brush marks give the appearance of canvases being fresh out of the studio. Working mostly in oil, led by the paint, she tries to capture the emotional charge of the individual, creating an iconic work of art.Bennett studied painting at Camberwell College of Arts where she crafted and explored the use of mark-making to convey her fascination with the human face and the immediacy of her paint handling.Bennett is driven by her lifelong obsession with music and art, spending her teenage years working at a record shop and after graduation, working as a graphic designer at some of the top UK music and celebrity magazines, She is a genuine fan of many of the celebrities she paints.Text taken from: https://www.degreeart.com/artists/julie-bennettFor more information on the work of Julie Bennett go to: https://www.juliebennett.co.ukTo Support this podcast from as little as £3 per month: www.patreon/ministryofartsIf you would like to promote your work, exhibition or any other creative project, please contact us at:Social Media: @ministryofartsorgEmail: ministryofartsorg@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Darren Appiagyei is a wood turner and founder of inthegrain. The Camberwell College of Arts graduate made his name with vessels fashioned from the Banksia nut. Subsequently, he has gone on to create pieces from waste wood he finds on a local farm not far from his studio in London's Deptford. He believes his work is ‘about embracing the intrinsic beauty of the wood; be it a crack, texture, knots or lack of symmetry', adding that ‘it's about allowing the wood to speak for itself and enabling the inner beauty of the wood to shine'.His pieces have been included in shows such as 300 Objects during London Craft Week in 2020, Salon Art + Design at Park Avenue Armory in New York, and he had his first solo show at the Garden Museum in 2021. He will also be exhibiting with The New Craftsmen at this year's Collect fair which runs at Somerset House from 3-5 March 2023. Darren is definitely one to watch. In this episode we talk about: how table tennis played a vital role in his career; learning to turn as a student; discovering the Banksia nut by chance; how he ‘collaborates' with wood; his Ghanaian heritage; dealing with his mother's mental health issues as a child; why wood became a form of therapy; and writing his memoir.Support the show

Liminal Gallery Podcast host, Louise Fitzjohn, speaks with contemporary artist Alexis Soul-Gray, who has a solo exhibition 'Dancing in the Dark' in our Margate-based Gallery. Alexis Soul-Gray (b.1980), lives and works in Devon and is currently studying MA Painting at The Royal College of Art. She is an alumni of The Royal Drawing School having completed the Postgraduate Drawing Year between 2006-7. Her undergraduate degree is in Drawing from Camberwell College of Art, graduating in 2003 after completing a foundation course at Central Saint Martins College of Art. Soul-Gray has held lecturing positions in universities, worked as an independent curator and is a 2021 & 2022 recipient of The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant for Painting. She has recently been artist in residence at Exeter Phoenix Gallery and Artist House Kadenowka, Poland. In 2022 she had her first solo show in a publicly funded gallery and her first international solo exhibition in Stockholm, Sweden. ‘Dancing in the Dark' features a new haunting body of paintings by the Devon-based artist, focused on a children's party, devoid of parents, the children take on the burden of life amongst celebration, in all its beauty and sorrow. The figures Soul-Gray creates dissolve into dreamlike abstraction, overrun with vivid colour and this instability of surface blurs distinctions between figure, feeling, fantasy and reality. Dancing between representation and emotive intuitive mark making, the artist invests her work with a transcendental, almost ethereal quality by allowing the forms within her paintings to float, morph and collapse in on themselves, exploring the evolving exchange between the bodies we occupy, the world we inhabit and the individual experiences we live. Soul-Gray's experimental and highly energetic compositions refute normative modes of existence, challenging constructed notions of balance and harmony. Using the body to dance in defiance as well as an anchor to express psychological states, the work in the exhibition captures the sensation of fragmented memories and unconscious fears slowly emerging from the psyche. Her paintings touch on history, memory and the passing of time, particularly surrounding loss and grief. While works on vintage knitting patterns and vintage ephemera are covered with oil paint acting as a protective shield, sheltering or covering up forms - a metaphor for the recesses of the imagination where vulnerability and fear are shrouded.

Frieze Masters presents this conversation with Zadie Xa & Vivien Zhang in partnership with Whitechapel Gallery (@whitechapelgallery). Their conversation explores Xa's new exhibition at Whitechapel as they reflect on ideas of cultural identity, the appropriation and gentrification of symbols, and disparities between static and performance art. "[The Yin Yang] feels like a very Korean or Asian thing. This is an authentic image that I can kind of attach meaning to, but then of course, it's something that has been so heavily commodified by the West and in skate and surfboard culture in Vancouver...So I thought, right, it's also devoid of meaning. And it's something that depending on where the symbol sits, has lots of meanings." – Zadie Xa Zadie Xa (@zadiexa) was born in Vancouver, Canada and lives and works in London, UK. Working across textile, painting, installation, live performance, sound, and moving image, Xa's practice is an exploration of familial legacies, histories of migration, and how different species communicate with one another. Vivien Zhang (@vivienzhang_) is a London-based artist and an Associate Lecturer at Camberwell College of Arts. About the Frieze Masters Podcast Exploring themes of identity, originality, geopolitics and Blackness through a historical lens, the new Frieze Masters Podcast is now available.

Rebecca is an artist based in Essex and East London. Rebecca is known for work that draws on a mixture of slapstick and deadpan comedy and the absurd. She is interested in how awkwardness can invite empathy, and how a fallible, open subject could suggest a resistant position against powerful systems. Her work responds to landscapes, including wild, rural and urban, from a feminist perspective. She is especially interested in how humorous interventions can speak to power. Rebecca has a BA in Painting from Camberwell College of Art and an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art. She also has done a Constellations programme, exploring the expanded field of public art, with UP Projects, Flat Time House and Liverpool Biennial * She has been nominated for a number of prestigious awards and commissions some of those include Thames Estuary Festival, commissioned psychogeographic walk by Metal Culture UK * 2021 - Nomination for The Arts Foundation Award for Visual Art * 2020 - Nomination to propose an artwork for The High Line Plinth, New York * 2019 - Nomination for Paul Hamlyn Award * 2019 - PEER Notices commissioned artist, PEER Gallery, Hoxton, London
It was the picture books from her childhood that inspired our next guest to become a freelance artist. The illustrated stories sparked a passion for drawing for Aysha Tengiz but were also what kept her sane growing up in Turkey, where her family had moved to be closer to her father's. Now based in London, Aysha specialises in illustration, animation and textile design. Her work is playful, colourful, and often of everyday scenes full of charming characters like Fil, a lonely elephant who was also the star of her first picture book. A graduate of Camberwell College of Arts, Aysha has worked in Illustration since breaking into the industry five years ago. Today she is represented by Closer & Closer in North America, and her clients include The New York Times, Facebook, and Stella McCartney. It's been a whirlwind of success. One she partly puts down to being part of a thriving London community. In this episode, we talk about freelancing as an illustrator and why it can often be hard to find your place in the world and settle on a style that suits you and your personality. We talk a lot about money – a subject that we feel just isn't covered enough. And we understand more about what it takes to survive in an increasingly competitive field.

#AntiRacismInAction: Higher Education with Oliver Young, Charles Egbu and David Mba Episode 3 of 9 BFELG Livestreams #AntiRacismInAction - Making the Most of an Ethnically Diverse Britain, co-produced by BFELG and FE News, was aired today Monday 18th October.The Episode, #AntiRacismInAction: Higher Education, was special in that it featured Professor Charles Egbu and Professor David Mba, two eminent academicians who are *Black and who are leaders of Higher Education institutions in the UK. Black Vice-Chancellors and Black Deputy Vice-Chancellors are very few and far between in UK Higher Education.Professor Egbu is Vice Chancellor, Leeds Trinity University. Appointed in 2020, he is the first UK university Vice-Chancellor of African heritage. Professor David Mba is the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research, Knowledge Exchange and Enterprise, University of the Arts (UAL), London.In a sector where 25% of students are from Black communities, sadly, only 2.9% of university Vice-Chancellors/Principals (7 of 238) are Black. This situation is even worse than in Further Education where 8.1% (19 of 234) of college CEOs/Principals and 30% of students are Black. Very few board Chairs are from Black communities in both sectors and hardly will one find a Black leader in the senior hierarchy of regulatory bodies and organisations that provide both sectors with support. Black students are less likely to gain a place in high tariff universities or achieve a first or 2:1 degree. This cannot be right.Introducing the Episode and the Guests, Oliver Young, Chief Diversity Officer, University of Exeter Business School, and a member of the BFELG stated unequivocally: ‘Anti- racism is the only way to cohesively advance our ambitions as a diverse and representative society. Anti-racism is a challenge we all need to take collective responsibility for, and address for our future generations.'Racial inequalities are a significant issue in higher education. This was identified as one of five fundamental guiding principles of Advance HE's Race Equality Charter (REC), formally launched in 2016. The Charter aims to improve the representation, progression and success of Black staff and students withing higher education.In 2019, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) Report, ‘Tackling racial harassment: universities challenged' uncovered ‘widespread evidence' of racial harassment on university campuses and in November 2020 Universities UK (UUK) published guidance on tackling racial harassment in higher education. The guidance acknowledges that the higher education sector cannot reach its full potential unless it benefits from the talents of the whole population, and individuals from all ethnic backgrounds can benefit from the opportunities it provides. Importantly, the guidance acknowledges that racial harassment is just one manifestation of structural racism in higher education and points out that a wider programme of culture and policy reform is needed to tackle racism and racial inequalities of all forms.There are currently about 79 institutional REC members, 17 of which are award holders. A recent independent evaluation (March 2021) of the REC identified the need for greater strategic senior manager and institutional buy-in for race equality.Against this background, co-anchors Gavin O'Meara (CEO and Head of Digital, FE News) and Robin Landman OBE, and BFELG Executive Member, were in conversation with the featured Guests, exploring the particular Race Equality opportunities and challenges for the HE sector and their individual organisations and the specific HE system leadership actions necessary to make tangible and rapid progress.David touched on his links with the BFELG and highlighted UAL's Anti-racist Strategy. UAL is a collegiate university, specialising in arts, design, fashion and the performing arts. It is a federation of six arts colleges: Camberwell College of Arts, Central Saint Martins, Chelsea College of Arts, the London College of Communication, the London College of Fashion, and the Wimbledon College of Arts. UAL is also Europe's largest specialist art and design university and the world's second best university for Art and Design in the QS World University Ranking 2019 .Charles highlighted a specific initiative by Leeds Trinity University to address racial inequalities. The University has recently launched its Strategic Plan 2021-2026 which is built around the four strategic pillars of ‘Education and Experience', People and Sustainability', ‘Research, Impact and Innovation', and Careers and Enterprise' supported by the two key themes of Digital Futures and the Leeds City Region. Promotion of the principles of dignity, respect, social justice, equality, and inclusion to support each and every person in the University community is a stated important part of the Strategic Plan. The University's mission is rooted in its Catholic foundation and Leeds Trinity welcomes students from all backgrounds and beliefs.* 'Black' is used as an inclusive definition to refer to people from ethnically diverse backgrounds who share a lived experience of the effects of racism.
In today's episode I talk to the Artist Sequin Kay. Sequin is a British contemporary multidisciplinary artist who exhibits internationally and is currently based in Ibiza. She trained in Fine Art and Painting at Camberwell College of Arts and Goldsmiths University in London, UK. Her work explores spiritual realities such as Higher Sense Perception, metaphysics and the secrets of the universe. Passionate about environmental issues Sequin is raising awareness of animal protection by donating and working with The Ibiza Preservation Fund and the Rimou Tiger Charity in Malaysia. Her most recent collection The 2020 Zodiac Collection is raising funds to directly protect Malaysian Tigers, and their habitat. She has exhibited extensively in London including; Moniker Art Fair, Clerkenwell Design Week, London Underground, amongst many other galleries. International exhibitions of her work include showcases around the world in galleries in Costa Rica, Ibiza, Canada, Berlin, Ireland, Spain. We talk extensively and deeply about the art of self love and self acceptance. How in search of the answers to our very existence, we realise that the true freedom of life is to accept the responsibility of our inner power and the only way to tap into that source, is to respect ourselves enough to follow the path that brings us closer to our reality.

Today, Lucy Branch talks to Jason deCaires Taylor, who is a sculptor, environmentalist, and professional underwater photographer. He has permanent site-specific work spanning several continents and predominantly explores submerged and tidal-marine environments. He's the only sculptor in the series who does not work in bronze, but I can't hold that against him because his work is utterly fascinating. He has a deep understanding of the crisis that humanity is facing with the damage that they're doing to the environment. The fact he enables expression of this through his underwater sculpture is well worth listening to. Join us and BE INSPIRED BY SCULPTURE. You can find images of Jason deCaires Taylor's work and a transcription of the interview at the Sculpture Vulture Blog - SCULPTURE VULTURE If you are looking for a new book, the novel mentioned in this interview is currently available free from Sculpture Vulture. This podcast was brought to you by Antique Bronze, Specialists in the Conservation and Restoration of Sculptural and Architectural Features Snippet from the interview: Lucy: Have you always been creative? Jason: No, not necessarily. No, I actually started my art career much, much later on in life. I studied sculpture at university, but then, after that, I sort of did a whole range of different professions, none of which were particularly creative. But it was only later on in life that I managed to, you know, make it a full-time profession. Lucy: What sent you off to art school then? Jason: Oh, yeah, certainly. I mean I come from a family that...you know, there's many, many painters and sculptors and, generally we've always been involved, in some way, in the creative arts. But yeah, I think it was a really, sort of, natural choice for me to go to university. You know, when you're at that age and you're, sort of, weighing up all the different options of what to do in life, I kind of just went with what I enjoyed the most and what I loved doing, and it was certainly art. Lucy: So, a family, being artistic, who were quite happy for you to do that. That's not always the case. Jason: No, I was very lucky. You know, I had parents that really encouraged me to, sort of, follow my own vocation. Yeah, some people are not as fortunate but, for me, it kind of really worked out. Lucy: What did you do after you left university? Jason: Many different things. It was quite, sort of, an interesting path. I mean I studied sculpture and ceramics at Camberwell College of Arts. And after that, I actually had that dreaded feeling, like, "Oh my god, you know, how am I going to make a living out of this?" I actually found it quite... you know, the equation of taking on jobs maybe that I didn't like too much but they paid the bills. I always wanted the creative part to be free and not constrained in any way, which, I suppose, everybody does. But, practically speaking, it's not always possible. So, I really turned against that and I thought, "I'm just going to try some other different types of jobs and see what I enjoy doing."
Gaurab Thakali, illustrator and artist based in London, is one of the most influential visual interpreters of South-London's contemporary jazz scene.

The Art + Science Reading Group is now a virtual gathering of thinkers, researchers and the incurably curious. Organised by PhD candidates Amelia McConville (School of English and Institute of Neuroscience) and Autumn Brown (School of Education and Science Gallery Dublin) and supported by Science Gallery Dublin and the Trinity Long Room Hub, the series will explore the evolutionary and revolutionary kinship between two approaches to understanding the universe and our place within it. Art and science often share a cyclical relationship of exploration and illumination. How do these disciplines help us frame questions about the universe and in particular those forces we cannot see? This month we're speaking with artist and researcher Alexandra Carr on her experimental approach to art, inspired by natural processes. How might a shared point of visual reference help democratise the big questions about the unknown and the unseen? We will discuss Alexandra's artistic work in collaboration with physicists, geologists, and biologists including the development of biologically smart materials, and speak about her recent installations including an upcoming exhibition in Dublin, Solaris Nexum. Carr completed a foundation at Central Saint Martins School of Art and Design and a ceramics degree at Camberwell College of Art. She has exhibited work at the Fondation Cartier in Paris, in collaboration with Jean-Paul Gaultier. She has been commissioned work from seminal musicians Radiohead, and was recently shortlisted for the Arts@CERN COLLIDE International Award and longlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize 2017, 2019 and 2020.
The common terminologies used by soundscape ecologists to describe different types of sound are (broadly speaking) animal sounds, human sounds and elemental earth sounds. Liz K. Miller presents her key findings from her thesis to show how these categories fail to capture the soundscape of trees, asking where the sounds made by trees fit into this lexicon and study of sound. Trees are an essential part of the ecosystem but, as yet, have no place in our classification system. Liz presents beautiful soundscapes and field recordings from Blackheath Forest in the Surrey hills and Clocaenog Forest in North Wales, leaving us with the rustling of leaves and creaking of bark alongside birdsong and soaring aeroplanes overhead. Presenting a new category for these familiar yet often overlooked sounds, Liz asks what can we learn from listening to trees. *** Liz K Miller (b. 1983, Hexham) is a London-based audio-visual artist and researcher. She graduated from Edinburgh College of Art (BA), Camberwell College of Art (MA), and was a print fellow at the Royal Academy Schools (2013 to 2016). In 2018 she was awarded an AHRC TECHNE scholarship to undertake a practice-based PhD at the Royal College of Art in the School of Arts and Humanities.
Czech Contemporary Art in Berlin mit Manuel Stehli Unser nächster Gast in der online-Reihe Czech Contemporary Art in Berlin ist der Maler Manuel Stehli. Er ist zwar in Zürich geboren und aufgewachsen, ein Großteil seiner Familie ist aber in Tschechien. Aktuell lebt und arbeitet er in Berlin und Zürich. Manuel Stehli hat an der Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig und an dem Camberwell College of Arts in London studiert. 2019 warer Finalist für den Kunstpreis Junger Westen und 2018 war er einer der Finalisten der Berlin Masters Ausstellung für Künstler*innen unter 30, die in Berlin leben und arbeiten. Seine Bilder stellen oft einsame Personen in sehr leeren, minimalistischen bis steril wirkenden Umgebungen dar. Auch die dargestellten Personen und Landschaften wirken anonymisiert bis entpersonalisiert. Sie scheinen ein flaches Abbild der Realität zu sein. Mehr über Manuel Stehli auf seiner Website, seinem Instagram-Account oder hier. In kurzen Interviews stellen wir in der Reihe Czech Contemporary Art in Berlin zeitgenössische Künstlerinnen und Künstler mit Wurzeln in Tschechien und/oder der Slowakei vor. Kreative, die schon länger oder erst seit Kurzem in Berlin leben. Das Format des Gesprächs heißt 3x3: Die ersten 3 Minuten sprechen wir über den Ort, wo die KünstlerInnen arbeiten. Die nächsten 3 Minuten dann darüber, was sie im Moment beschäftigt, und schließlich erfahren wir in 3 Minuten etwas Interessantes über die Künstlerin oder den Künstler. Visuelle Eindrücke von der Arbeit der Künstler und Künstlerinnen werden dann über einen Takeover des Instagram Accounts des Tschechischen Zentrums vermittelt, der immer dienstags ab 14 Uhr, zeitgleich mit der Veröffentlichung eines Podcasts, stattfindet.

In the 12th episode of the NüVoices podcast, Alice Xin Liu and Sophie Lu interview Shuilam Wong, who goes by Shui, a comic artist who partnered with Jinna Kaneko to create the Hole in the Wall Collective with Jinna Kaneko. The two high school friends met back up in the city and decided to create their own indie zines (self-published magazines). We talked to Shui about being born in Tokyo and raised in Beijing and London (where she went to Camberwell College of Arts, and where she feels like she belongs to no particular place). We also discussed her artwork, which utilizes broad brushstrokes and a free-form sketch style to depict scenes inspired by a variety of characters in everyday life. Shui notes that her style is partially inspired by Old Master Q (老夫子), a classic Chinese comic. For recommendations, Alice recommends Sexy Beijing (www.sexybeijing.tv), and especially its star and producer, Anna Sophie Loewenberg, a precursor to all the badass females in her life. Sexy Beijing was a project that Loewenberg created with Jeremy Goldkorn and Luke Mines. Sophie recommends Woman World, a graphic novel published by Drawn & Quarterly and based on an Instagram comic about a world without men. Our guest, Shui, recommends yoga and a très noir French Pinocchio comic book by Winshluss.
Carolyn graduated from Camberwell College of Arts with a BA(Hons) Ceramics in 1998. Since then, she has mixed making her own work with various teaching appointments. Carolyn currently teaches at and helps to run a social enterprise in North London working with adults recovering from and living with mental health illness. Carolyn's current body of work takes inspiration from a small Chinese style bottle given to her in childhood. She enjoys the freedom of its maker to mix up pattern, creating vibrant and accidental surfaces and she applies this to her thrown porcelain vessels . Some are quire usable, others a visual treat. Using the traditional process of underglaze decoration, Carolyn hopes to create pieces to look at and to treasure.

"I was lucky enough to have Barrington Barber as my first art teacher at school, which set me off down the creative road. After a varied career of theatre production, singing, charity fundraising and latterly heading the business development and marketing department of a big city law firm for eight years I finally decided to dedicate myself full time to art and design.I studied painting at Camberwell College of Arts and interior design and styling at Chelsea College of Arts and Central St Martins. The acclaimed painter, Trevor Bell (a leading member of the younger generation of St. Ives artists), very kindly offered to give me support and mentoring after seeing my paintings in 2005 and has provided invaluable advice over the years. I sold my first painting to my sixth form art teacher in 1985 and since then my work has been bought and commissioned by private collectors across Europe.I'm a regular speaker on using colour in your home at Ideal Home Show and Grand Designs Live and for several years I taught Colour for Interior Design at Chelsea College of Arts.In January 2015 I officially launched my first collection of homewares, which all have beautiful art at their core, as well as a sense of craft and the hand-made about them. I live in London with my two children, Zachary and Coco Rose."TwitterFacebookInstagram
Art was power for Britain's kings and queens. In a new BBC TV series, Andrew Graham-Dixon visits the paintings amassed by King Charles I, the first great royal collector in British history.
