Colour in Visual Arts: Eating, Touching, Making & Other Methods

from Exhibitionistas: Notes on Art · host Joana P. R. Neves, art curator and writer

Curator Joana P. R. Neves welcomes María Castro Jímenez, whose Substack page "Pigments, Colours & Other Stories" reveals new pathways into art history, art making and creativity. Perfect for artists, ideal for polymaths, superb for creative souls and idyllic for those who enjoy a mix of prehistory, archeology, chemistry, anthropology and magic. Ultimately, this is the best art podcast to creatively explore creativity...Art Topic is an art discussion segment focusing on the most intriguing art themes, or providing exciting new approaches to classic art themes in visual arts, with art experts, thinkers or curators (hosted by Joana P.

Artistic director of Drawing Now Paris since 2018, she has worked across the industry, from the art market to education. She co-launched the art residency and project space Worlding in 2020. Exhibitionistas’ first year offered exhibition discussions with guest co-host Emily Harding; organically, it grew into a more experimental show exploring art topics, stories and interviews complemented by Joana’s publication Art Thinkosaurus on Substack. She champions ‘Art Wonderment’s’ embrace of complexity against the lure of ready-made opinions. A polyglot, she grew up in Lisbon, studied and lived in Paris, to finally settle in London with her artist husband, four children and two cats. Find us:On Instagram – @exhibitionistas_podcastOn Substack (NEWSLETTER: sign up!): Art Thinkosaurus > Exhibitionistas FilesOnline: www.exhibitionistaspodcast.comDo you want to be a guest on Art Etiquette?
