Artist Interview with Flora Bradwell

EPISODE 37 of ‘All About Art’: Artist Interview with Flora Bradwell In this episode, I sat down with Flora Bradwell, a London-based artist. This episode was actually recorded a few months ago, which is quite atypical for All About Art, but there was a reason for it. At the time, Flora was pregnant with her baby boy, who has since then not only been born, but has already attended a few exhibition openings and art events! I’m launching this episode to coincide with Flora’s exhibition ‘We’re gonna need a bigger boat’, with painters Lindsey Jean McLean, who has also been on All About Art (episode 29 linked here), and Sophie Knight. The show is opening on September 23rd 2022 and will be on view for that weekend on the Slash Arts Gallery Houseboat on Regent’s Canal - so do come if you’re in London! It’ll be great.

We talk about her experience at Slade, a well-known and well-respected art school. We also talk about her practice as a painter, sculptor, and filmmaker, how it has expanded into curatorial opportunities, artist residencies, and a project called Bad Art. Listen in to hear us talk candidly about all of this and more -  motherhood and an arts career, what it feels like to be at the beginning of a new chapter in life, and how juggling tons of creative projects can have an impact on an artist’s practice.
