Episode 57 of âAll About Artâ: New Kids On The Block - Interviews with 5 Emerging Gallerists in London (Hew Hood, Helen Neven, Maribelle Bierens, Cedric Bardawil, & Jack Trodd)
In the past two years in London (2022 and 2023) we have seen a massive surge in small galleries opening across the city. Instead of interviewing one emerging gallerist about why they chose now to take the plunge and open their gallery, I had the opportunity to speak to 5 new gallerists in London.
I ask each gallerist 4 questions:
Introduce themselves and say more about their gallery. What inspired them to open a gallery in London. What type of art the gallery strives to champion and how they have positioned themselves in the growing gallery landscape in the city. What is one thing they wish they could tell their younger selves when entering the sector as a gallerist.I start off at [05:22] in North London to see Hew Hood at Hew Hood Gallery in Islington
At [17:35] I then went East to see Helen Neven at Neven Gallery in Bethnal Green
At [28:08] back down to Fitzovia is where I visited Maribelle Bierens at Night Cafe Gallery
At [38:20] to Soho to see Cedric Bardawil at his eponymous gallery up on the first floor of a building on Old Compton Street
At [48:46] I sat down with Jack Trodd who runs BWG Gallery, a nomadic gallery that had a home on 13 Soho Square right off of Oxford Street in 2023 but has conducted exhibitions all around London, north, south, east, and west, and will continue to do so in 2024.

Episode 56 of âAll About Artâ: The Experience of Sitting for a Portrait - In the Studio with Beau Gabriel
This episode is a bit different because All About Art is a podcast all about demystifying the professional arts sector by speaking to amazing people in different roles in the arts - But I also love to do episodes that touch on various themes within the industry, and this time itâs more unconventional.
I recently went to visit Beau Gabriel, a London-based artist, in his studio to sit for a painting. This was my first time sitting for a painting and it was really fun to experience this while also taking my mics with me to record it for you listening in.
If you get bothered by background noise, I suggest you skip forward a tad because in the first 10 minutes, you can hear Beau prime his canvas and paint brushes while he me how to pose.
In a casual interview format, listen in to hear us talk about underpainting and pigments, what it feels like being a sitter, and so much more.
To set the scene a little bit while you listen, we were standing in Beauâs studio in East London with the natural light of a very cold Sunday in November. Beau had his easel set up and a monochrome pallet of oil paint to create the underpainting of my portrait. I was standing across from him with a chair in front of me on the back of which I was resting my hand, and I had a little space heater facing me to keep me warm because of what felt like freezing temperatures, quite typical for artist studios in London in the winter.
This painting will take a few more sessions to complete, so be sure to follow All About Art and Beau on Instagram to see it when it's finished. (linked below!)

Episode 55 of âAll About Artâ: Writing an Artist Biography: Discussing Pauline Boty with Marc Kristal
In this episode, I sat down with Marc Kristal, who recently published the biography of British pop artist Pauline Boty. This episode and the bookâs publication is concurrent to an exhibition of Botyâs works at Gazelli Art House in London.
Boty was born in South London, and in 1954, she received a scholarship to Wimbledon School of Art and then continued her studies at the Royal College of Art in the late 50âs. She worked across a variety of mediums that include painting, collage, and stained glass and was known for celebrating her womanhood and sexuality in an unapologetic and open way. She died at the young age of 28, and has been a lesser known member of the British Pop Art Movement in comparison to her male counterparts. Pauline Botyâs artwork is held in a few amazing collections, including The National Portrait Gallery and Tate Britain in London as well as the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington.
Thank you Marc for coming on the podcast! and to Quarto Publishing for the collaboration.

Episode 53: A Critical Take on the National Galleryâs â200 Creatorsâ Call Out
Recently, someone left a comment on one of my Instagram posts. They asked âcould you share your feelings on the National Gallery calling all content creators to celebrate the bicentenary? Many are calling the criteria unfair and as a professional in the art industry and as a creator, Iâm curious how you feel about itâ, which has now sparked the inspiration for this podcast episode.
In this episode, I take a critical stance on the recently announced call out from the National Gallery to create a network of UK-based digital creative influencers as part of its Bicentenary celebration called NG200. Applications have opened for digital creators to make âdigital contentâ which responds to the museumâs collection, exhibitions, building, and day-to-day activities. Those selected will be named a Creative Collaborator, or will join the Galleryâs newly created 200 Creators Network.
The issue is⊠Applicants are asked to have a strong existing social media presence, with either a minimum of 50k subscribers on YouTube; 50k followers on TikTok and 1m likes on their account; or 100K followers on Instagram. The gallery said it wants to âcollaborate with creators whose communities are interested in any number of topics, niches, and themes, and these donât need to be based around art.â
Listen in to hear what I think is very cool about this, what the bad elements of it could be, where the National gallery may have taken a misstep, and my personal conclusion I have drawn from all of this.

In this episode, I sat down with art critic, comedian and presenter Verity Babbs. We speak about the topic of being your authentic self in the arts and why we often struggle with it in our sector. I ask her about Art Laughs, an initiative she founded that brings art-themed comedy events to museums, galleries, fairs, and cultural spaces.

Episode 47 of âAll About Artâ: Running an Arts Project Space with Penelope Kupfer, Director of Kupfer
In this episode, I sat down with Penelope Kupfer, director of the eponymous gallery and project space in Hackney, north east London. Kupfer functions as a platform for exhibitions and residencies.

We also touch on the topic of Motherhood, a huge theme for Penelope, and how important it is to engage in conversations around it.
Kupfer also hosted the 2nd anniversary celebration for the All About Art Podcast, which was filled with opportunities such as art-world speed networking and other fun games such as Jenga, reimagined for knowledge exchange. We also conducted panel talks and exhibition tours which took place over the span of three days this April.

EPISODE 44 of âAll About Artâ: Artist Interview with Stacey Gillian Abe (in collaboration with Unit London)
In this episode, I had the joy of speaking to artist Stacey Gillian Abe. Stacey was born in Kampala, Uganda, in 1990. She received her BA in Art and Industrial Design from Kyambogo University in 2014. She has gone on to present her work internationally at museums, galleries, fairs and biennales. The episode coincides with her solo exhibition at Unit London on Hanover Square in London.
Within this episode, Stacey tells me about the works in the show and what inspires her practice. We chat about how she brings in autobiographical experiences and investigations of themes like identity, gender, and the Black Body. We also talk about the medium she uses, as she primarily uses paint but has encompassed hand embroidery in this series, which is a new element in her work.
The works evoke a strong relationship to the viewer but they also exert their independence from the viewer through the poses and gazes of each subject. The exhibition is on until January 27th 2023, so if youâre in London, I definitely recommend you go see the show!
Thank you Stacey for coming on the podcast and sharing your insights, and to Unit London for the collaboration.

EPISODE 43 of âAll About Artâ: Discussing 'Misogynageism' with Artist Fion Gunn
In this episode, I speak to artist Fion Gunn. She centers her practice around the desire to understand and analyze the extremity of human experience. She states that she is fascinated by the fundamental question: What does the experience of living mean for us both as individuals and as a global society?
We chat about Fionâs artistic practice and how she uses a variety of mediums including painting but also sculpture, augmented reality, and film. We then go on to discuss an incredibly prevalent issue within the arts: misogynageism. This term is one that was further explored in an interview with Fion in Artplugged written by art historian Verity Babbs. Tune in to hear us discuss it, and you can also read the full article here: https://artplugged.co.uk/young-gunn-fion-gunn-and-arts-misogynageism-problem/

EPISODE 42 of âAll About Artâ: Ministry of Arts Podcast Crossover with Gary Mansfield
This episode is a podcast SPECIAL, because it is a crossover episode with Gary Mansfield, founder and host of the MINISTRY OF ARTS podcast (so after you listen to me interview Gary here on All About Art, head over to his podcast here to tune in to him interviewing me!)
Gary has had quite the unconventional introduction to the art world. He came into contact with the arts during a 14-year prison sentence he was serving. Listen in to hear him tell me about what it was like to encounter the arts in that atmosphere, and how it impacted him. Gary is a practicing artist himself, so we also talk about his methods of making and what moves him to create his work. We chat about inclusivity in the arts, what needs to change, and how his nearly 200 episodes of interviews with various artists and cultural practitioners have influenced his view on the sector.
Thank you Gary for the collaboration, it was so much fun!

EPISODE 41 of âAll About Artâ: Quantum Physics & Art with Libby Heaney
In this episode, I speak to the fabulous London-based contemporary artist Libby Heaney.
Libby studied Physics at Imperial College London and has a PhD in Quantum Information Science from the University of Leeds. She spent 5 years working as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oxford and the National University of Singapore, leading her own research and publishing 20 papers on topics like quantum entanglement and quantum biology. In 2008, she won HSBC and the Institute of Physics Very Early Career Woman physicist of the year and a prestigious EPSRC postdoctoral fellowship.
However, as you will hear later on in the episode, Libby retrained as an artist at Central St. Martins, graduating in 2015, and now works at the intersection of advanced technologies, science and art. She is widely recognized as a pioneer of quantum computing and art, receiving substantial international press for her artwork Ent-, which is a work we will discuss in depth later on.
Thank you Libby for coming on the podcast!
