British artist
POPULARITY
Een kleur, zwarter dan zwart, houdt al ruim 10 jaar de gemoederen van de kunstwereld bezig. Twee Engelse kunstenaars vechten elkaar de tent om iets dat nauwelijks zichtbaar is: vantablack. Anish Kapoor heeft het alleenrecht om Vantablack te gebruiken vastgelegd en dat is tegen het zere been van de kunstwereld. Stuart Semple, een andere Britse kunstenaar, bindt de strijd aan met Kapoor en start een controverse die gretig wordt uitgemeten in de pers. Kortom, smullen geblazen (met de nodige zwarte humor).
Plus: After scientists created "olo" -- a colour they say no one else can see, artist Stuart Semple created "yolo". And he says it can be yours for a small price. Also: We remember tireless B.C. drug and addiction advocate Trey Helton.
Welcome to season 8 of the show, we'll be talking today to Stuart Semple about art, creativity, the inner critic, and near death experiences. Enjoy.

Människor har alltid haft en viss respekt för natten, för vem vet vad som kan gömma sig där ute i mörkret? Men den svarta natten har också inspirerat mode, konst och kultur. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I veckans Stil ska vi bege oss in i nattens mörker för att se hur den del av dygnet då de flesta av oss ligger och sover har inspirerat modeskapare, konstnärer och kultur i största allmänhet.Vi pratar med den brittiska konstnären Stuart Semple om Vantablack, den svartaste svarta färg som finns. Modeskaparna Jennifer Blom och Per Götesson berättar vad som händer natten innan en stor modevisning. Filmskaparen och författaren Mia Engberg, aktuell med essäboken Mörker som material, berättar om hur hon och andra konstnärer använt sig av mörker, natten och svärta i sina verk. Och så träffar vi arkitekten Andreas Martin-Löf, som stolt också kallar sig lampmakare. Han tycker att vi inte ska lysa upp natten allt för mycket, utan istället lära oss att omfamna mörkret.
In 2016, Surrey Nanosystems created a substance known as "The Blackest Black." Immediately, a British artist purchased the exclusive rights to use the "Vantablack" substance in art. The art world was angry and started developing ways to strike back. In this episode, we talk about Vantablack, Anish Kapoor, Stuart Semple and more. Then we chat with Hypnotist, Magician and Entrepreneur, CJ Johnson!

In 2022, artist Stuart Semple opened up his laptop to find that all his designs had turned black overnight. All the colors, across files on Adobe products like Photoshop and Illustrator, were gone. Who had taken the colors away? The story of what happened begins with one company, Pantone.Pantone is known for their Color of the Year forecasts, but they actually make the bulk of their money from selling color reference guides. These guides are the standard for how designers pretty much anywhere talk about color.On today's show, how did Pantone come to control the language of the rainbow? We look back at the history of Pantone, beginning with the man who made Pantone into the industry standard. And, we hear from Stuart, who tried to break the color monopoly. Share your thoughts — What color should we choose to be Planet Money's color? This episode was hosted by Sam Yellowhorse Kesler and Jeff Guo, and produced by Willa Rubin with help from James Sneed.

Ian McMillan explains the challenge of translating Rossini's comedy opera, The Barber of Seville, into Yorkshire dialect and singers Oscar Castellino and Felicity Buckland along with pianist Pete Durant perform two of the Yorkshire-ised arias from this new production live in the Front Row studio. Our relationships with art objects is a subject that many visual artists are currently exploring. Two such artists are Johanna Billing and Stuart Semple who joined Nick in the Front Row studio to discuss why they think art as an object is getting in the way of appreciating art as an experience. Jesse Darling is the first in Front Row' series of interviews with the artists who are nominated for this year's Turner Prize. He uses sculpture, installation, text and sound in his work to react to the world around him, for instance contorting roller coaster tracks in an expression of life's messiness. The exhibition continues at the Towner Eastbourne, and the winner of the prize will be announced in December. The Royal Society of Arts is leading a coalition to create a ‘Northern Cultural Corridor'. Comprising leading figures in the creative industries, alongside local governments across the North of England, it is looking for ways to boost the cultural potential of the north. Andy Haldane CEO of the RSA explains how they will set about it. Presenter: Nick Ahad Producer: Ekene Akalawu
Voltamos com mais um episódio do Escuta Essa, podcast semanal em que Denis e Danilo trocam histórias de cair o queixo e de explodir os miolos. Neste episódio temos duas histórias sobre tinta: primeiro Danilo conta como a tinta verde já foi mortal e pode ter levado Napoleão à morte, e depois Denis fala da tinta mais preta do mundo e como isso criou rancores dentro do mundo da arte. Não deixe de mandar os episódios para aquela pessoa com quem você também gosta de compartilhar histórias e aproveite para compartilhar com a gente seus comentários e perguntas no Spotify, nas redes sociais @escutaessapod, ou no e-mail escutaessa@aded.studio ... NESTE EPISÓDIO Primeira História - A história sobre como a cor verde pode ter matado Napoleão Bonaparte é uma das muitas contidas no livro "Quando deixamos de entender o mundo", de Benjamin Labatut. - Através de descobertas feitas com luz ultravioleta é possível ver as cores originais de diversas estátuas da Grécia Antiga em exposição no Museum of Modern Art em Nova Iorque. - Carl Scheele, nascido em 1742, é o responsável pela criação do "Verde Scheele", que continha altos nível de arsênico e pode ter contribuído com sua morte aos 43 anos de idade. - O "Verde Scheele" começou a ser abandonado ainda no século XIX graças à sua toxicidade, mas seguiu até 1930 sendo usado como inseticida. - Marie Curie, pioneira nas pesquisas sobre radioatividade, morreu aos 66 anos vítima de uma anemia rara causada pela exposição prolongada à radiação. - Sabin Arnold Von Sochocky criou a primeira tinta do mundo que brilhava no escuro, chamada "Undark". Morreu aos 45 anos também vítima de anemia causada por radiação. - Tanto Claude Monet quanto Paul Cézanne tiveram problemas de visão: o primeiro por conta de uma catarata, o segundo por conta de diabetes. É impossível comprovar, mas é possível que os dois tenham sofrido suas condições por interferência do "Verde Paris", que também era tóxico e foi usado como inseticida até o final do século XIX. - A gasolina passou a conter chumbo em 1922 e em 1970 toda a gasolina do mundo já continha o metal. Sua proibição ocorreu na década de 1980, mas chumbo só parou de ser utilizado na gasolina do mundo inteiro em 2021. - A produção artesanal de panelas no México passou a conter chumbo depois da invasão dos europeus e, mesmo com o chumbo proibido no país desde 1993, várias comunidades tradicionais seguem produzindo artesanalmente panelas usando o metal como esmalte. Estima-se que duas de cada dez crianças do país estejam seriamente contaminadas. - O gás presente nas geladeiras era o clorofluorcarbono, banido mundialmente em 1987 quando provou-se que era o maior responsável pela destruição de nossa camada de ozônio. Segunda História - A tinta Vantablack, produzida pela empresa Surrey Nanosystems, pode ser vista no próprio site da companhia em diversas fotos e vídeos. - Sua versão em spray, mais acessível, chama-se Vantablack S-VIS e custa cerca de 6 mil dólares a unidade. - Anish Kapoor é o artista responsável por obras como o "Cloud Gate" (ou "O Feijão") em Chicago, o "Sky Mirror" em Nottingham, na Inglaterra, e o "The Void" (ou "O Vazio"). - A matéria no site Wired citada pelo Denis pode ser lida aqui. - O rosa mais rosa do mundo, criado por Stuart Semple, pode ser comprado no site do artista - desde que você não seja Anish Kapoor, claro. - Estudos mostram que a resolução 4K em algumas circunstâncias supera a capacidade do olho humano. - Anish Kapoor riu por último. - O azul chamado "IKB" ("International Klein Blue") foi registrado em 1960 por Yves Klein. - A única obra de Anish Kapoor que utiliza a tinta Vantablack é um relógio - na verdade, uma série de dez relógios, e cada um pode ser comprado pela bagatela de 95 mil dólares. ...

Recommend this show by sharing the link: pod.link/2Pages The previous guest on this podcast was W. Dave Ball, a fellow Rhodes scholar whom I met at Oxford. One of the things I remember from my time there is the signs that were everywhere: Don't walk on the grass. Entry forbidden. Don't bring a naked flame into the Bodleian Library. Fair enough - I understand the last one, but most of the signs just made me feel like rebelling against them. Maybe this was the artist in me. There's something about transgression that can be extremely powerful. Stuart Semple is a British artist who never really had a choice about what he wanted to be when he grew up.

Virtuosic drummer with a huge wealth of experience, Stuart Semple joins Brian for a geeky drum chat and some patter… The post Stuart Semple appeared first on Putting it Together.
Pink is the new black (especially when no one else can use that black). View this week's show notes for visuals and more!
We spoke to Giles Alexander from his St. Peters studio. His painting practice strives to understand, 'us', and 'belonging' and in turn, the universe. Hence, Giles's fascination with planets and space. 'Giles Alexander's art practice explores the visual discourse of belonging. He asks us how we find a sense of belonging in a city, a country, the world, and the universe. Alexander's humanist preoccupations have led to a multi-disciplinary practice marked by the high production value and technical skill. The artist is conscious that the questions he ponders - around belonging, origin, and the universe - have absorbed humanity since we encountered the power of thought.'Giles is represented by Olsen Gallery and Mars Gallery. NB: we talked about Vantablack, a blackest black paint made and trademarked exclusively by the artist, Amish Kapoor, for his sole use. Another artist, Stuart Semple, has made his own blackest black paint, in retaliation, for everyone can use except Anish Kapoor! Thanks, Giles, we really enjoyed our chat and hope everyone does too!
ABOUT TIFFANY AND SHADOWSTiffany is back with the announcement of her first new record since 2018's Piece Of Me. Shadows, due November 25, 2022 via Deko Entertainment, is described as a cathartic comeback LP on which Tiffany bares her soul and invites listeners to walk with her into the light. Today, she shares the record's newest single, "I Like The Rain," of which she says: "'I Like The Rain' is about owning your own dysfunction and the people who benefit from it."Speaking on her forthcoming LP, she continued: "Shadows is about the light and dark of my life, the heartbreak that nobody knows about, when you're trying to be fabulous onstage. My life has never been perfect. But maybe all those things are meant to be. And what helps me more than anything is writing songs."Shadows includes 11 brand new songs, including the new single "I Like The Rain," as well as stand out tracks "My Everything," "Bed of Nails," and a rocking cover of the Rival Sons track "Keep On Swinging." It will be released in multiple formats, including Digital, CD, and Limited-Edition Pink and Black vinyl, with pop-up album artwork created by multidisciplinary British artist Stuart Semple. This is limited to 250 copies and comes with multiple Tiffany photo inserts, making this a one-of-a-kind collectible piece.Stuart states, "It's been really exciting to be able to make some new art with Tiffany. Her music was a big part of my childhood. The new record is amazing and I'm so glad to have been able to come up with a visual way to bring it to life. It feels like the whole project is an artwork in it's own right."The most fascinating artists have both darkness and light. No one understands that duality better than Tiffany. She's the former teen icon with the scars of a lifer. A multi-million-selling phenomenon whose outward success story belies bad romances and bum deals. A genre-blind singer/songwriter who writes starkly personal lyrics that make entire stadiums sing along.As such, when it came to naming her new studio album, one title called out. "Shadows is about the light and dark of my life," says Tiffany. "The heartbreak that nobody knows about, when you're trying to be fabulous onstage. My life has never been perfect. But maybe all those things are meant to be. And what helps me more than anything is writing songs."Tiffany's life can be measured in songs. Anyone with even a casual eye on pop culture will remember her breakout in the late-'80s, sparked by the transatlantic #1 smash, "I Think We're Alone Now."But the fans who have made the journey with her since know that the best stuff came later, as the singer fought her way to the music she burned to record, from 1993's restorative Dreams Never Die, through the pulsing electro bangers of 2005's Dust Off And Dance, right up to 2018's highly acclaimed Pieces Of Me. "It's an album highlighting an artist at the top of their game," wrote Get Ready To Rock of the latter, "producing music from the heart.""It's been a long journey to get back," reflects the singer. "There can be a lot of discouragement, naysayers, and obstacles. But you've got to keep on swinging. You've got to have a lion heart. For Shadows, I found the right people and that made me bold."The songs that Tiffany brought to the Shadows sessions at Rockfield Studios - some rowdy and brittle, others tender and feather-soft - are a candid snapshot of her life as she steps into her fifth decade. But listen a little harder and you'll hear everything that has led her here, for better and worse.Born in Norwalk, California, on October 2nd, 1971 - and carrying a tune from the age of two - Tiffany barely remembers her life before the stage. She was a pageant girl, then a dancer, before, aged nine, she sang at a friend's birthday party and the clocks stopped. "There I was, nine years old, and I sounded like a 30-year-old woman," she recalls. "Not being in the music industry, my parents had no idea how to begin, but we just started there."Even in the Golden State, Tiffany's home life came with storm clouds. "My parents were lovely people, but there were issues with alcohol, a turmoil there," she says. "You'd hear the crying at night, the screaming, the rows, and wonder if you're even going to have a place to stay the next day."Through the chaos, music was her lifeline. In the early-'80s, all over San Diego, from the fairgrounds of Del Mar to the country music circuit, Tiffany was a livewire presence, singing out her heart and soaking up the wisdom of the greats whose orbit she now moved in. "From artists like Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and George Jones, I learnt to live out loud," she reflects. "They woke up and that's who they were. They lived their life through music."All the while, Tiffany was feeding the insatiable muse that is evident on Shadows. "I had an older cousin who was listening to AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Heart," she reflects. "I'd ask my best friend to buy my records at the music store when I was too embarrassed, because I had Barbra Streisand, Ozzy Osbourne, and James Taylor. I love Joni Mitchell. Joan Baez. Huge Bob Dylan fan. And with artists like Stevie Nicks and Deborah Harry, it wasn't just the music that inspired me, it was their strength. These are women who have made it through the good, the bad and the ugly."The passing decades would see Tiffany suffering her own body blows, from the painful court case in which she fought her parents for control of her career to the relationships that rose and fell in the public eye. "Sometimes," she laughs darkly, "my girlfriends will make a joke and say, 'You just date the same person over and over again...'"But while a lesser artist might retreat to lick their wounds, Tiffany always used her hard-won experience as rocket fuel. Driven by that unmistakable grit-and-honey voice, Shadows feels wrenched from the depths, from the defiant primal-scream rocker "Cried For The Last Time" to the bruised electro ballad "I'll Meet You Anywhere." "On this album, there's a pop base with rock edge," she considers. "There's a definite retro sound on songs like 'Shadows' and 'Lost Inside. 'They have that punky, '80s, Go-Gos, Blondie, Pat Benatar kinda feel with a more modern rock attitude. I want people to sing along."Producer Mark Alberici and the first-call studio band ensured that Shadows roars from the speakers. But perhaps the record's greatest power comes from Tiffany's unflinching lyrics. "'I Like The Rain' is saying that I almost choose the chaos in my life," she says of the riff-driven groove, "while 'You're My Everything' was about having a big row with my boyfriend, but instead of the end of our relationship being ugly, I wanted it to be beautiful." Elsewhere, smoky torch song "Bed Of Nails" was so heartfelt that Tiffany caught the vocal in a single late-night take. "It's quite a dark song and I just purged myself. I walked up to the mic and it was literally one pass, which is what you hear on the record. I'm writing about a relationship where two people aren't getting what they want out of it, yet they've sacrificed a lot to be there. At the time, my boyfriend and I were both divorcing other people. With a lot of these songs, I'm sharing my vulnerability with you."All of our lives come with shadows. But with her latest studio album, Tiffany invites her fans to walk with her into the light. "These last few years, we've all been through a really hard time," she considers. "People have been through divorces, lost jobs, family members, friends. I know I have. You have to carry on, but there's a sadness and loneliness."That's where music comes in," she counters. "It bonds people. For me, it recharges my batteries, getting that validation, seeing those smiles, getting the fans to go on the next journey with me. Who knows where I'm going next? But I'm a lifer.

On August 4th, 1986, it was discovered that the most expensive painting in Australia, 'The Weeping Woman' by Pablo Picasso, was missing from the National Gallery of Victoria's collection. Turned out it had been abducted by a cheeky new organisation no-one had ever heard of: the "Australian Cultural Terrorists” (the A.C.T) who were holding the painting ransom. Their demands? Increase funding to the arts, or the painting would be incinerated. Was this really a crime? Or was it more of an act of protest? Or a piece of performance art? Whatever the ACT intended it to be viewed as, it's hilariously funny. Jacob shares the story with long time friend of the podcast and guest host Stuart Semple.

The Scream by Edvard Munch is one of the most famous artworks out there, and one of the most widely referenced. We see it in pop culture on t-shirts and posters, in the Simpsons and other cartoon parodies and one of the most famous scenes in the movie Home Alone saw Kevin mimic the pose of The Scream as he put on after shave. Of course, while we think we know the work, there is a lot people get wrong. For example, the painting isn't about a person screaming. Munch was painting his feeling of anxiety being overwhelmed as he heard the scream of nature all around him. Also, some say the figure in the painting was based on a Peruvian mummy that was on display around that time. For my second segment, we got a little-known fact about mummies from Andrew and Kate, the hosts of Let's Talk Petty. They have a few more episodes to go in their first season, and if you aren't familiar, check them out. I got hooked on the show when I came across their episode on the petty rivalry between Stuart Semple and Anish Kapoor. Who ARTed is an Airwave Media Podcast.

Scientists developed VANTA Black to absorb over 99% of visible light. The vertically aligned carbon nano tube array will trap the light creating a surreal effect like looking into a black hole. When the substance covers an object, the contours of the form disappear into a flattened silhouette. The artist Anish Kapoor has the exclusive right to use VANTA black for artistic purposes. The artist Stuart Semple doesn't like the notion of someone hoarding materials and so in a delightful bit of poetic justice, Semple has developed products like the pinkiest pink and the world's most glittery glitter which users must agree never to share with Anish Kapoor.

Sie sind Sammler, Kuratoren, Ausstellungsmacher aber auch Berater - Johanna und Friedrich Gräfling führen in der Frankfurter Kennedyallee den "Salon Kennedy". Keine Galerie, sondern vielmehr eine spannende und persönliche Begegnungsstätte für Kunst. In ihrem erweiterten Wohnzimmer begrüßen sie regelmäßig Kunstinteressierte und Kunstschaffende. Der Fokus liegt dabei nicht allein auf dem Ausstellen von Kunst - die Gräflings wollen vielmehr den Diskurs fördern und Menschen durch Kunst zusammenbringen. Kunst hat auch die Gräflings irgendwie zusammengebracht: Johanna studiert gerade am Sotheby's Institute in London, als sie den angehenden Architekten Friedrich kennenlernt. Gleich ihr erstes Date führt die beiden in eine Ausstellung. In London erwirbt Friedrich Gräfling u.a. auch eine Arbeit von Stuart Semple, der sich vornehmlich politischen und gesellschaftlichen Themen beschäftigt und heute als einer der führenden jungen Pop-Art Künstler gilt. Im Laufe der Jahre wächst die Sammlung Gräfling um viele weitere Positionen an, darunter Arbeiten von Michael Sailstorfer, Grace Weaver, Jorinde Voigt, Simon Fujiwara, Larue Prouvost, Alicja Kwade oder Andreas Gursky. Leben und Kunst sind bei den Gräflings untrennbar miteinander verbunden. Diese besondere "Kunstenergie" ist der Motor ihrer Arbeit. Wir haben uns mit Johanna und Friedrich Gräfling über ihre Sammelleidenschaft unterhalten, darüber, wie sie gemeinsam neue Künstlerinnen und Künstler entdecken, welche Rolle Kunst und Künstler:innen in ihren Architekturprojekten spielen und wir haben sie auch gefragt, wie man denn in den "inner circle" ihres Kunstsalons kommt. Mit dabei im virtuellen Salon ist auch ihre kleine Tochter Wilhelmine, die sich ab und zu auch zu Wort meldet. Viel Vergnügen beim Zuhören.

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Stuart Semple (@stuartsemple) Stuart Semple is a multidisciplinary British artist working across painting, sculpture, happenings, technology and activism. He is well known for his sociologically engaged works that often discuss youth politics, accessibility and democracy. Although diverse in it's presentation, Semple's body of work orbits around a handful of recurring themes; anxiety, society, cultural history, technology, connection, community and freedom. Ultimately landing with a clear-minded sense of utility, that art itself should have a social function. At his Mum's kitchen table Stuart started to produce high quality acrylic paints under the name CultureHustle.com, creating The Blackest Black and The Pinkest Pink, the sales of which boomed after being inadvertently indorsed by Anish Kapoor.

Paradise opens at the Olivier auditorium of the National Theatre tomorrow. It's a new version of a play that had its premiere, and was acclaimed, in 409BC - Philoctetes by Sophocles. Just before the final preview begins, writer Kae Tempest tells Kirsty Lang why this ancient story of a wounded soldier, in constant pain, abandoned on an island, grips them today. John Boyne's new novel is a humorous and scathing takedown of the world of social media through the lens of a particularly grotesque family. He talks to Kirsty about how the Twitter backlash to one of his previous books inspired The Echo Chamber, and his new-found love of writing in a comic style. GIANT, the largest artist led-space in the UK has opened in Bournemouth. Its director Stuart Semple joins us to discuss the inaugural exhibition, Big Medicine, and his hopes for the future of art in his hometown. Presenter: Kirsty Lang Producer: Hilary Dunn

Scientists, artists and some of the world’s biggest companies are carving up the visual spectrum, and claiming certain colours as their own, so who does have a right to use the colours of the rainbow? We explore the ongoing rift over the worlds “blackest black” Vantablack, which was created by engineering firm Surrey Nanosystems, and can only be used by the artist Anish Kapoor. Contemporary British artist Stuart Semple argues that creativity should not be limited by commercial agreements, while Surrey Nanosystems executive Ben Jensen explains that the material is not suitable for general use. Author Kassia St Clair explores the meaning and history of colour, and we hear how interpretations of colour have changed from Julie Irish, an assistant professor specialising in colour, at the College of Design in Iowa. Note: Surrey NanoSystems has clarified their material Vantablack isn’t toxic, as described by one speaker in this programme, but can be an irritant. This programme is a repeat from January 2021.

It’s an Art World Grudge Match! In this corner: With more than four decades’ experience, a Turner Prize, and a knighthood– British-Indian artist Sir Anish Kapoor! And in this corner: The much younger, positive pop artist championing mental health and social justice causes– English artist Stuart Semple! Who will prevail? Who will provoke the ire of the masses?

Scientists, artists and some of the world’s biggest companies are carving up the visual spectrum, and claiming certain colours as their own, so who does have a right to use the colours of the rainbow? We explore the ongoing rift over the worlds “blackest black” Vantablack, which was created by engineering firm Surrey Nanosystems, and can only be used by the artist Anish Kapoor. Contemporary British artist Stuart Semple argues that creativity should not be limited by commercial agreements, while Surrey Nanosystems executive Ben Jensen explains that the material is not suitable for general use. Author Kassia St Clair explores the meaning and history of colour, and we hear how interpretations of colour have changed from Julie Irish, an assistant professor specialising in colour, at the College of Design in Iowa. Note: Surrey NanoSystems has clarified their material Vantablack isn’t toxic, as described by one speaker in this programme, but can be an irritant.(Picture of a colour splash via Getty Images).

For more information and resources you can visit www.WhoArtEdPodcast.com In this minisode, we learn about some of the petty behavior of "sophisticated" artists. Anish Kapoor has the exclusive rights to use vantablack, the world's blackest black, for artistic purposes. Many in the art world found it infuriating that someone in a creative field would stop others from accessing materials thus stifling innovation. Some were more bothered by the uninspired ways that Kapoor squandered this material. Stuart Semple fought back in was that are in some ways petty, but always amusing. Learn a bit about their feud in this episode, and if you want to learn more about Semple, purchase some of his pigments, or participate in #Pinktober visit his website Culture Hustle.
It’s time for our new episode! Today, we jam with Stuart Semple and he shares with us how he started his property adventure and his life beyond property. 5 years ago, he caught himself looking for a better return of money than a standard savings account. Then he stumbles upon a book that talks about buying assets and making money work for them. (What book is this!? Do you know?!) Buying an asset and producing money was a completely unknown concept for him at that time, that was his light bulb moment. He then decided to learn more about property business from there on. Well, property is a side hustle for Stuart, he is a full-time psychiatrist focusing on forensic science. WOW! We totally dig in when he started talking about FBI and crime investigation like it was sooo normal.
Join Kait and Diane as they go over the recent scandal involving artist Anish Kapoor who licensed the world's blackest material (VantaBlack) so that no other artist could ever use it in their works and Stuart Semple who opposed Kapoor's decision to license the material and started the #ShareTheBlack movement.

In this episode Martha shares her story from humble beginnings growing up in the south to her transition through education, the arts, and leading her early business thru the 2008 recession to "rising like the Phoenix" with Nine Dot Arts in leading the company thru this current pandemic. This interview is packed with great nuggets from Martha so listen closely!ABOUT MARTHA:When you're born and raised in Mobile, Alabama, genteel grace and charm are just a natural byproduct of your upbringing. But Martha's deep understanding of the art business and tenacious drive for business success are something all her own.As our CEO and Co-Founder of NINE dot ARTS, Martha oversees business planning, company finances, marketing and sales, team development, and is basically our head cheerleader and evangelist to the world.

She also loves using both sides of her brain on a daily basis, which can mean touring an amazing new NINE dot ARTS art experience in the morning and reviewing equally inspiring spreadsheets in the afternoon.When she's not bouncing from meeting to meeting around our office, talking to movers and shakers in the art world, or giving high fives (with a handmade artistic hand, naturally) to team members, you might find her shopping at estate sales, urban hiking, listening to podcasts and audiobooks, or making cool stuff with her three art loving children.Martha supports the art community by: currently serving on the Board of the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts and serving as Executive Director for Union Hall.

Stuart Semple is an incredible artists ... one of the SNC's all-time favorites, in fact. If you don't know his name, odds are good that you'll recognize his work. About Stuart, Aidan Dune wrote: "There is a real intelligence at the heart of his art. On the one hand he clearly embraces the throwaway, famous-for-15-minutes soundbite culture of celebrity and distraction. On the other, he stops it in its tracks, recasting its giddy imagery in the slow, fixed medium of paint. He might seem to celebrate it, but he actually doesn't quite trust the world of mass production and communications. His work implies a conviction that there is, or perhaps there better be, something genuine, something real, beyond the glam facade of throwaway culture."Stuart is the nicest, sweetest guy. He's just so warm and with a mission to unite people, knock down class barriers and just make people HAPPIER through art. he’s just might be our Super Nicest guest yet. I know you’re going to love him. So turn off everything else, tune out the rest of the world and drop in to NICE WORK! with Stuart Semple. www.stuartsemple.com Some (But Not All) Topics: * The beautiful thing that is and will be VOMA* Art breaking down class divide* The beach of desperation and luxury* Why Denver, CO was once the happiest city in the world* How to increase empathy, reduce anxiety and conquer social isolation* The wacky paint made from Anish Kapoor’s heart* Free paint for BLM activists* Community-supported art!!

They have been feuding since 2016 when Kapoor received exclusive rights to the Vantablack pigment, said to be the blackest shade of black ever created.In retaliation, Semple created the "pinkest pink" paint pigment and banned Kapoor from purchasing it, shortly followed by his Faze colour-changing paint. Now the British artist has done the same thing with Black 3.0.Listen to the unedited podcast and help support the episodes at --> https://www.patreon.com/posts/32638318

Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio discuss their new film Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood. In the ninth film directed by Quention Taratino, set in the late 1960s, DiCaprio plays an actor in the twilight of his Hollywood career, with Pitt as his buddy and stunt double. The Chief Conductor of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Sakari Oramo, guides Stig Abell in on what to listen out for when listening to a symphony. Oramo will conduct the annual Proms performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony next Monday evening. In a row over colours the Turner Prize winner Sir Anish Kapoor has been banned from an art shop which is employing a full-time security guard with orders to keep him out. The artist and art shop owner Stuart Semple is angry that Kapoor secured the exclusive rights to Vantablack, that in response he's created his own blackest black paint, available to everyone, except Anish Kapoor. Stig Abell made it through the security checks and into his shop to talk to Stuart Semple about why the colour black is so important to artists, and why access to it raises fundamental issues about art and democracy. It's August 14th which seems an ordinary sort of day but, as Front Row reveals, over the last 1,000 years many events of cultural and artistic significance have occurred on this date, so August 14th isn't so nondescript after all. Presenter: Stig Abell Producer: Julian May

Painting and pigments are intimately connected, but have you ever given much thought to artists’ historical relationship with colour? Yves Klein had his blue and Malevich loved black; the Impressionists formed an entire movement around light and colour. On this episode, we speak with artist Stuart Semple (creator of the pinkest pink and blackest black acrylic paints commercially available) about artists’ love of colour and how he went about making his colouriest colour collection. This episode's guest: Stuart Semple is an innovative artist whose work has been shown at galleries in New York, London and Hong Kong. He first garnered notice in 2009 through his project ‘HappyCloud’ in which he released thousands of smiley-faced soap clouds from Tate Modern. He curated an exhibition in 2011 at the Old Vic Tunnels featuring works by Tracey Emin, Matt Collishaw, himself and others to support mental health, and in 2016 he released his pinkest pink pigment for sale online to ALMOST any artist. He has since released a yellowiest yellow, greenest green, loveliest blue, and very black black as well.

Critically acclaimed contemporary British artist and curator, Stuart Semple, joins the podcast on the first anniversary of releasing his innovative range of art materials. Stuart reveals what started out as a bit of a joke accidentally becoming a huge E-Commerce success, driven by passion. He discusses finding himself out of his depth, how it affected him as an artist, the story behind his conflict over paint rights with Anish Kapoor, the trials involved with innovating products, production and outsourcing, scaling his enterprise and also a new kind of pigment he is working on - the likes of which the world has never seen...
Amidst love for Stuart Semple, feelings about Game of Thrones, and the psychological advantages of being fandom trash, we remember Chester Bennington and all of the amazing experiences that man brought into our lives.
Idea to Value - Creativity and Innovation with Nick Skillicorn
In today's episode of the Idea to Value Podcast, we speak with Stuart Semple, a visual artist based in Dorset, England and also one of the people in the centre of a recent controversy within the artistic world. What follows is an interesting story about how one of the world's most famous artists Anish Kapoor was given the exclusive rights to produce art using the "blackest black" pigment ever produced, called Vantablack (which I have written about previously here: https://www.ideatovalue.com/curi/nickskillicorn/2016/07/new-blackest-material-world-absorbing-99-965-light/). Stuart is leading the fight back, saying it is bad news for all other artists to be prevented from expressing themselves using this new medium, and has also worked to make extreme colours available to everyone with his "pinkest pink" paint (except for Mr Kapoor though). Topics covered in this episode: * Stuart's history and current art projects (01:00) * The controversy behind Vantablack and how the artistic community was excluded (02:30) * Should an artist not have the right to have exclusive access to something if they get there first? (05:45) * How different artists will use materials in different ways to express themselves (07:00) * Stuart's history in creating colours and getting to the pinkest pink in the world, with yet more controversy (08:30) * Our computers can't actually handle the brightness of real-life colour saturations, and only output in Red, Blue and Green (10:30) * Everyone gets creative blocks, even professional artists, but you need to work through them (12:00) * The difference between work he initiates himself and work commissioned by other people (13:45) * The difference between creativity and self-expression (16:00) * Does he still feel anxiety about what people will think before he releases his work (17:00) Links from this Episode: * Stuart's art: http://stuartsemple.com * Buying some of Stuart's amazing paint: https://culturehustle.com/ Bonus: This episode was made possible by our premium members and the Deep Creativity training system.
