Ep.137 Stuart Semple - Ministry of Arts Podcast

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Stuart Semple (@stuartsemple)   Stuart Semple is a multidisciplinary British artist working across painting, sculpture, happenings, technology and activism. He is well known for his sociologically engaged works that often discuss youth politics, accessibility and democracy. Although diverse in it’s presentation, Semple’s body of work orbits around a handful of recurring themes; anxiety, society, cultural history, technology, connection, community and freedom. Ultimately landing with a clear-minded sense of utility, that art itself should have a social function. At his Mum’s kitchen table Stuart started to produce high quality acrylic paints under the name CultureHustle.com, creating The Blackest Black and The Pinkest Pink, the sales of which boomed after being inadvertently indorsed by Anish Kapoor.   For more information on the work of Stuart Semple go to http://stuartsemple.com/   For more information on the work of Culture Hustle go to https://culturehustle.com/   To Support this podcast from as little as £3 per month: www.patreon/ministryofarts   For full line up of confirmed artists go to https://www.ministryofarts.org Email: [email protected] Social Media: @ministryofartsorg Hosted on Acast.
