Ep.245 Endless - Ministry of Arts Podcast

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Endless (@endlessartist)He goes by the name “Endless” – a word which embodies his limitless creativity, passion and drive. Endless is a London-based artist, who infuses street and contemporary art techniques and practices.After 6 years of study, Endless graduated from Cambridge School Of Art, where he specialised in fine art and screen printing. Shortly after this, he moved to London and began sharing his ideas with the world in the form of street-art. The journey from street to gallery has seen Endless' reputation rise, capturing the attention of the art world, museums, brands and the media alike.Never lacking in meaning or depth, the key messages within the vibrant artwork interpret the artists’ unbiased societal observations, exploring humanity’s relationship with fashion, advertising, brand-worship, consumerism, and celebrity culture. The logo "CHAPEL" is often found in Endless' work, showcasing the contrast between traditional and modern-day symbols of worship with his own take on the iconic Chanel No5 perfume imagery. The name change in Endless' design represents society's brand-obsessed culture shift in one word, 'Chapel' - a world where brands are the new deities; shops are the new churches, glossy magazines are Bibles and celebrities play the part of God. The gods in his works include fashion industry legends like Karl Lagerfeld, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss.Today, Endless continues to express ideas through his street-art, but his most exclusive work can be found in Cris Contini Contemporary Galleries and within the homes of collectors world-wide.For more information on the work of Endless go tohttps://www.endlesstheartist.comTo Support this podcast from as little as £3 per month: www.patreon/ministryofartsFor full line up of confirmed artists go to https://www.ministryofarts.orgEmail: [email protected] Media: @ministryofartsorg Hosted on Acast.
