  • In this bonus episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Vitor Lopes (@vitorlopes.art), who is showing in the New Art Fair 2024, at the Truman Brewery, London, from 27-29 September 2024


    For years I have explored different avenues of creative expression, fully immersing myself in the works of artists and the extensive realm of art history. My expertise primarily stems from self-teaching, supplemented by short courses in drawing, sculpture, mould making, casting, 3D modeling, and product design.

    However, it was only three years ago that I made the conscious decision to fully embrace the world of fine art photography, from concept, photography, printing and framing.

    Mystyle reflects limitless creativity and a distinct artistic flair, involving the human body and powerfull messages of hope, love and reflection.

  • In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Nana SRT (@nana.S.R.T)

     

    Nana Sakura Rosalia Tinley Klimek, aka Nana SRT, is a visual artist working primarily in photography. She lives and works between London and Vienna. 

    Introduced by her father to the NikonFM as an early teen, Nana picked up photography and darkroom as a voluntary side subject in high school. She shot her first personal series depicting caged zoo animals’ eyes at around the age of 18. 

     

    Around that time she moved to England and quickly became involved in the London dance scene. Her photography remained a private pastime. 

    In 2009, NSRT shot her first dance series entitled Move!, which is included in her public portfolio today. 

    Finding herself amidst heaps of photographs, in 2019 NSRT decided to share some of these publicly, and took the leap to participate in art fairs, making her debut at The Other Art Fair w Saatchi Art in Brooklyn, New York.

    Various art fairs have followed since, including Red Dot at Miami Art Week (2022 and 2023), Art Wynwood (Miami 2023), and Art Santa Fe (2023). 

    NSRT has exhibited at some group shows including: at Bergdorff Goodman (NYC), Orchard Galerie (NYC), and some independently run local art events in East London.

     

    She launched her first book DAIDO LOVE at Offspring London and Peckham24, published by Photobook Café Editions, in May 2024. 

    Daido Love is stocked in London at The Photographers Gallery, and Photobook Café, and in Vienna at Westlicht.

     

    NSRT continues to immerse herself in the world of dance and draws inspiration from it.

  • In this bonus episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Jonny Mellor (@JonnyMellorArt) who is showing in the New Art Fair 2024, at the Truman Brewery, London, from 27-29 September 2024


    I am an artist strongly influenced by minimalism and geometric abstraction. I use this visual language to create paintings, prints and hand cut paper art . The exploration of colour, process, materials, space and form are central to my practice.


    I am interested in taking forms, shapes and patterns and combining these with carefully considered colour combinations. I am continually striving to achieve balance and harmony within my works composition and colour pallet.


    Amongst the barrage of visual stimulation and the overall increasingly chaoticness of life, minimalist art is at rest, creating a quiet harmony and balance which offers the viewer a space of calmness and contemplation.

  • In this bonus episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Stella Zuegel (@stellazuegelart) who is showing in the New Art Fair 2024, at the Truman Brewery, London, from 27-29 September 2024


    Contemporary geometric artist Stella Zuegel creates unique art using both watercolour on paper, and acrylic and oil paint on canvas. Each piece is painted free hand and takes between 3-24 months to complete.

    In her work, Stella plays with shapes and colours to create depth, dimension and cohesion. These curate a journey of free-flowing exploration through individual shapes, larger patterns and the composition as a whole for the audience.

    Stella’s work is inspired both by the poignant stories and emotions of herself and the people she meets and by an organic curiosity towards the very nature of self and the universe. Her work is thus a geometric representation of her inner path to discover the essence of her being and her journey towards understanding the world and its people, whilst also being a colourful expression of human experience and emotion.

  • In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Natalie Chapman (@nataliechapmanartist)

    Natalie Chapman paints portraits that engage with family identity and issues based around dysfunctional relationships and social documentary. She is influenced by the work of photographers Richard Billingham and Nan Golding, and have similarly focused on spontaneous snapshot- compositions, saturated colour space and incidental objects in order to set a scene of everyday life.

     

    She has returned to the same old photographs of her childhood, to re-arrange her memories and work through family history and its daily struggle. Natalie wants her work to feel edgy and to seduce the viewer into contemplating ambiguous tension, a sense of emptiness, boredom and anxiety.

     

    Her process involves capturing memories using small collages of family portraits with interior scenes recalled from childhood. These studies are scaled up on large canvases to create presence and intensify personal stories using gritty expression and garish colour. She wants to create images about human relationships that are simultaneously tender and dysfunctional.

  • In this bonus episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Gallery No32 (@gallery_no.32)


    ​Taking inspiration from our grassroots, DIY heritage, 2025's PARK is a space for experimentation. This year, we're not only encouraging fully formed applications, but also ideas, WIPs and sculptural question marks so that together, we can build our 4th and most exciting sculpture park to date.

    We have a new venue! We are re-opening Thamesview Golf Course in Thamesmead, South East London for the return of the PARK. The site has been closed to the public for over a decade and we're excited to be reactivating this amazing space with art, culture and exploration.

    Everyone can apply. We encourage applications from artists at all stages of their creative career.No fees. Winter Sculpture Park remains free to view, free to show.This year our open call welcomes all forms of sculpture, public art, participatory art, land art and architecture. We are also inviting applications for workshops and creative activities.​DEADLINE: Sunday 29th September 2024.​

    ​Thamesview Golf Centre has been out of use for over a decade, leaving the attached green spaces fenced off and inaccessible to the public. The site hosts a neglected two story clubhouse with rooftop viewing platforms, a paved forecourt and two large fields separated by chain link fencing.

    Developing ideas for Winter Sculpture Park submissions requires a consideration of the land for installation and durability. The No.32 team is here to support your plans with this! So do give us a nudge if you have any questions or need some advice.

    Thamesview Golf Centre, 2 Fairway Drive, Thamesmead, London SE28 8QN

    In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Peter Stapleton (@peterstapletonart)

     

    Peter was born in the city of Manchester, in the UK and his early years were significantly influenced by the complexities of coming from a family heavily in serious crime. Eventually Peter ended up in prison, charged with armed robbery on security vans. After spending several years on the run in South Africa, Peter was arrested and brought back to the UK. 

    It was during his time at a High Security Prison that Peter discovered he had a talent for painting and it was here that his passion for art was born.

    Eventually working his way to an Open Prison for good behaviour, Peter was released from prison every day to attend Staffordshire University, where he gained a BA (Hons) Fine Art.

    Painting in a Hyperrealistic style, Peters work focused on his experiences of Prison life. He looks for drama in a painting and invites the viewer to question what is going on. Painting in a precise and detailed way he likes to work in layers using a rich and saturated palette, giving depth to his paintings.

  •  In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Mark McGowan (@the_artist_taxidriver)


    Mark McGowan is a British street artist, performance artist, film maker and public protester who has gone by the artist name Chunky Mark and more recently The Artist Taxi Driver.

    By profession, McGowan is a London taxi driver and occasional University speaker and arts tutor. McGowan is known internationally for his performance art including shock art, street art and installation art, and as a stuntman, internet personality, video blogger, social commentator, social critic, satirist, political activist, peace activist, and an anti-establishment, anti-war, anti-capitalist anti-monarchist and anti-power elite protester.


    Under the artist name "Chunky Mark", McGowan entered the mainstream news in the early 2000s for his unconventional, satirical, sometimes comedic and/or ironic, and often absurd approach to public protest and demonstration. Chunky Mark conducted hundreds of performances in the UK and dozens around the world, stirring up some international attention, further debate on what "art really is", controversy; and both support and mockery alike from intellectuals, the art world, private corporations, the police, the military, the tabloids and the public. Often McGowan has not applied for police permission beforehand.

  • In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Clarke Reynolds (@clarkereynoldsofficial)

     

    Born in 1981 in Portsmouth, Clarke Reynolds began his life journey with a unique perspective, one shaped by limited sight and profound resilience.

     

    Despite facing the challenges of domestic violence and alcohol abuse in his childhood, Clarke found solace and expression through drawing. His sketchbook became his sanctuary, a space where he could escape and create.Clarke's artistic path took a pivotal turn when he was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, leading to the eventual loss of sight in his right eye at the age of just 6, since then he has lost the sight in his left eye leaving him with just 5 degrees of vision. These life-altering events steered him away from his career as a dental model maker, but also opened a new door to the world of art.

     

    It was through his discovery of textiles that Clarke realised he could translate the tactility of fabrics and the dimension of sound into visual art, crafting pieces that are not only seen but felt.

     

    Embracing his journey, Clarke now dedicates his time to creating art in his Portsmouth studio and teaching Braille, including leading a class named after him at London’s Kings Cross Academy. His passion for Braille, a vital tool for 30,000 people in the UK, is evident in his commitment to promoting its benefits.

     

    Clarke is represented by Grove Gallery for his original artwork.

    In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Mason Storm (@masonstormgenius)

     

    Masons work has been considered controversial and provocative, however he never try’s to be controversial in his subject matter just for the sake of it, there is always an underlying reason for the work he produces.

    Mason is probably best known for his mask. It has become a trademark, hiding his identity whilst creating a mystique which helps with promotion and publicity. He began wearing it when in 2010 he said he was going to reveal the face of the artist Banksy in an oil painting. The whole campaign was nothing more than a big marketing ploy and it worked. The supposed unveiling of Banksy courted a lot of negative publicity and the occasional death threat. Nothing he hasn’t encountered many times in his previous life but he knew the fact that he was remaining anonymous would annoy Banksy’s followers even more. Secondly, in his previous careers he has met and dealt with some extremely dangerous men. There is no risk to his security but he would rather the two worlds never meet. Also he occasionally does freelance work and its better for him if he remain in the shadows so to speak. So the mask, apart from its marketing potential allows him to hide in plain sight.

  • In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Holly Searle (@the_subversive_stitcher)

     

     

    For as long as I can remember I have always been making something. In retrospect, I may well have picked this desire to create up from my nan and my mum, who were always making something as well.

     

    I was an analogue child that was closer to the make do and mend generation than the digital children of the 21 century, who have a screen that feeds their desires, but not necessarily their creativity.

    ​For that I will always be truly grateful.

    I always loved to embroider, but as the years passed and my life became more focused on single parenting and domestic issues, I seemed to have lost the desire to create. I just lost my creative mojo.

     

    Then one day, several years ago, I attended an exhibition on mental health and saw the most incredible sight. It was a sampler that had been sewn by an inmate of a Victorian Asylum.

    ​The inmate Mary Frances Heaton had used a needle and thread and other accessible materials to petition Queen Victoria about her own personal experiences of her own social injustice that had befallen her.

    In that moment, as I stood there looking at this piece. I was transfixed and amazed by her ingenuity and her passion to be heard.

    Her passion reignited my desire to create and to use embroidery and textiles as a basis to draw attention to social issues and to empower women, especially those that deserve more attention than afforded them.

     

    Mary was incarcerated for 41 years, but she never gave up using her voice. I like to think you can hear an echo of her in mine.

  • In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Heath Kane (@ByHeathKane)

     

    Heath Kane returns almost five and a half years after he first appeared on the podcast, in episode 09. At the time he had his own branding agency, creating his ‘Rich Enough to be Batman’ prints as an external creative outlet. We simply discuss what’s happened since we first recorded on that bench in Hoxton Square many moons ago...

    “Having worked with clients in the luxury goods market for quite a while, I found it hard to understand how some individuals had more wealth than entire countries. And so, I created Rich Enough to be Batman. I knew then that I wanted any art I made to be topical, political and to challenge the conventions of our lifestyles and the world we live in today.

    I have always made art in response to what I see happening in the world. Each of my collections explores a different political or social narrative. I want people to look at my art and talk about the issues we face, both individually and as a community.

    When politics seems to be moving backwards (and while right wing governments continue to be in power) we need to be more active than ever in moving forwards. In creating art, I now have a voice that can help to bring about change. And, through buying my art perhaps you can join in that choir.

    I will continue to create more art that brings awareness to the societal rifts that politics creates. I hope to ridicule these divisions whilst trying to create more tolerance and understanding for each other.”

    LINK IN BIO 


    In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Danielle Tomlinson (@danielletomlinsonart)


    Danielle Tomlinson is a successful young British contemporary artist, taking the art world by storm with her bold, abstract paintings focused around her passion for wildlife. 


    Before working full time as an artist Danielle was competitive swimmer, competing nationally and internationally for the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games and the World Trials. 


    COVID brought a pause to all training which allowed Danielle to reignite her creative side. Entirely self-taught Danielle's art business was her first job out of university and within 2 months she was earning a full salary. 


    Her paintings are flown to collectors all over the world, including the USA, Australia, France, Canada, and many countries throughout Europe. Danielle started painting in her garden shed and three years later she has expanded and now in her third studio.


    This transition from competitive swimmer to successful full-time artist Tomlinson says could be down to the determination and drive which comes with competitive sports.


    Most of Danielle's buyers discover her work through Instagram and other social media platforms with an engaged and supportive following of 64k+ collectively.

  • In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Georgia Powell of co-founder of CURA Art (@cura_art_)


    Georgia Powell and Liza Shapiro are the Founders of CURA Art and The Residency. Through the two platforms, the founders have created an environment that is focused on long-term care and legacy. The Residency is a platform aimed at supporting and sponsoring underrepresented artists, centered around time away from their usual routine at various appropriate spaces. The Residency uses a unique approach, creating a supportive ecosystem through mentorship and community, connecting artists with influential patrons as a catalyst for change. Based in London and Los Angeles, CURA Art offers a personal and trusted approach to caring for varied collections, providing specialized services and expertise to ensure that works of art and other precious objects are preserved, managed, and displayed to the highest standards. Using their training in conservation, museum studies, art history and curation, they focus on advising collectors with the management and care of their collections, as well as with their philanthropy and patronage.


    Georgia is a lecturer at Christie’s Education and speaks regularly on the subject of the role of the Collector today. Georgia is Curator to the Estate of Jane McAdam Freud and advisor to the Estate of Feliks Topolski. She is a Trustee of Plain Sight Archive and a mentor for I Like Networking, helping artists and those working in the arts.
