079: Nigel Howlett

"I’m interested in transhumanism and our evolution as a species which is where the futuristic suit and robotic gloves come from," says London-based painter Nigel Howlett when we interviewed him this past Fall. So much did his approach to art making interest us, we decided to sit down with him for an episode of our Radio Juxtapoz podcast. London as an art capital seems to be evolving, with much of the artists changing addresses and a slew of younger galleries entering the diverse mix. Not only do we speak to Howlett about his work and that evolution, we speak with Ochuko Ojiri from the former Ramp Gallery and now curating his namesake space in Shoreditch, OJIRI gallery. Between Howlett and Ojiri, we learn about a unique time in London, where our preconceived ideas of the city. The Radio Juxtapoz podcast is hosted by FIFTH WALL TV's Doug Gillen and Juxtapoz editor, Evan Pricco. Episode 079 was recorded in early December 2021 in London. Follow us on @radiojuxtapoz
