#11 MEANING IN ART & AUDIENCE RESPONSE with Lucianna Whittle

Épisode 11

vendredi 8 décembre 2023 • Durée 36:10

This sharp and to the point podcast episode with Lucianna Whittle, a Brighton-based process-driven painter, is about meaning in art and audience response.

Does art have a purpose? Do and should contemporary artworks have a meaning, a specific content? Can and should they be interpreted?

How does contemporary audience response look like? What shouldn't visual artists expect from their audiences?

And how should visual artists make art best: with the potential buyer and his expectations in mind or, like the Sudanese painter and Tate Gallery artist Ibrahim El-Salahi once said, "with no idea whatsoever about what [the artwork] is going to look like"?

Take a listen to this poignant conversation with Lucianna Whittle, and come talk with us next time on The Pointless Artist Podcast about purpose in art, the art-making process, and audience response!

Via The Pointless Artist Blog and The Pointless Artist Podcast, I support the creative energy of life and the artists who contribute to transforming this world into a freer, kinder, more inclusive, caring, transparent, and compassionate place to live. I firmly believe in the passion for art, the importance of sharing knowledge and experiences, and the power of personal stories to bring us together.

#10 ART TALK with Sandy Kilpatrick, Scottish musician based in Portugal

Épisode 10

vendredi 3 novembre 2023 • Durée 42:42

In this podcast episode, Sandy Kilpatrick, Scottish singer-songwriter based in Portugal, unfolds his life story, and gives us an insight into his creative process.

He first takes us back into his formative years, when he was a student in Lancaster and then a Manchester-based singer in an indie-rock band. Further, he discusses the transition from a fast-paced professional life in England to a family life in Portugal. One of the highlights of our conversation is Sandy’s almost idyllic description of his large forest, the lush green hues of the leaves, the dazzling variety of his fruit trees, and the wonderful fragrance of orange blossoms. As he confesses in this podcast episode, in such moments of pure grace, when he feels most clear and free, Sandy becomes receptive to inspiration and he allows it to flow. If his guitar happens to be around, then he freely plays its strings, the magic occurs, and a new song is being born. The floodgates open when he silences his self-critical voice for a while.

Sandy argues convincingly that making peace with the inner demons and getting rid of the tyranny of the mind, an expression he borrowed from his wife, is essential for personal growth and creativity in art.

Listen to this podcast episode with Sandy Kilpatrick and feel his joy and creative energy! They're contagious :-)

From Germany with love,

Bianca Vinther

#1 ART TALK with William Eckhardt Kohler, American Painter and Winner of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

mercredi 19 janvier 2022 • Durée 47:42

Hi. I'm Bianca Vinther. This is an art talk that I had with William Eckhardt Kohler live on Wednesday, the 12th of January 2022. William is a full-time painter and, occasionally, an art writer based in Chicago. He's also a winner of the prominent Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant (PKF Grant).

We mainly spoke about his parcours as an artist, his multi-faceted work, his approach to artistic creativity, art inspiration and artist block, the creative process in his studio and beyond, and the concept of inner transformation (personal, emotional, spiritual), which is central to his personal development and the art he makes. We ended the interview with a short discussion about the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant he was awarded in 2020. I kindly asked William to give you some tips on how to apply for funding with the Pollock-Krasner Foundation to create new artworks, purchase needed materials, or pay for your studio rent.

Via The Pointless Artist's ART TALKS & The Pointless Artist Blog, I support the creative energy of life and the artists who contribute to transforming this world into a freer, kinder, more inclusive, caring, transparent, and compassionate place to live. I firmly believe in the passion for art, the importance of sharing knowledge and experiences, and the power of personal stories to bring us together. I hope that my interview with William will open a channel for you and transform you even if just for a moment ...

#9 ART TALK with Susan Hopkinson, Canadian Feeling-Better-About-Life-Expert

dimanche 19 février 2023 • Durée 45:47

In this fascinating podcast episode, Susan Hopkinson talks about creativity, inspiration and artist block. She also discusses the link between creativity and inspiration, and she reveals the secret to unlocking your creativity, finding inspiration, and being in the creative flow.

Susan stresses here the importance of humility and letting go in the art-making process. With this talk and like the previous guest to The Pointless Artist Podcast, the Polish painter Kristof Klimek, Susan sends out a clear and profound message of humility in a visual culture dominated by ownership and the monetary value of art.

Here's a snapshot from my art talk with Susan: Once you start to contain what you’re doing while you are in a creative flow, and you begin to make choices based on an idea of what you should do instead, you “box yourself and your own creativity in”. Put simply, artist block is not allowing yourself and your creative energy to flow, as well as not letting go of your creative impulse. "If you're not able to let go, nothing new can come in." (Susan Hopkinson)

I wholeheartedly invite you to listen to my art talk with Susan Hopkinson and to benefit from her wisdom!

#8 ART TALK with Krzysztof Klimek, Polish painter & photographer

Épisode 8

jeudi 5 janvier 2023 • Durée 45:44

In this podcast episode, Kristof Klimek tells us his fascinating story from when he first fell under the spell of art until now, when he is not only a passionate painter but also a committed husband and father of two.

He talks extensively about the unique experience of painting in nature, primarily in the countryside, among regular people going about their daily lives and carrying out regular jobs, and the challenges of being a plein art painter.

He addresses topics like creativity, inspiration, finding versus seeking, and the question of perception and reality in visual arts, and reveals the secret behind artist block. He also discusses the link between passion and discipline, as well as the wisdom of living in hic et nunc and of practising art in a less rational and more intuitive way.

Kristof touches also upon the incomprehensible and undefinable in art, that something else that transcends logic and language, as British-born Mexican artist Leonora Carrington would put it. He reveals himself as an artist who understands what it means to be an instrument of grace, a channel of creativity, as Henri Matisse wrote in one of his art books named Jazz.

Not least, Kristof tackles the topic of humility as an artist and the significance of being humble when making art. He sends out a subtle and profound message of modesty with this art talk in a culture dominated by ego, vanity, and obsession with mundane concerns, such as number of followers and profit.

Via , I support the creative energy of life and the artists who contribute to transforming this world into a freer, kinder, more inclusive, caring, transparent, and compassionate place to live. I firmly believe in the passion for art, the importance of sharing knowledge and experiences, and the power of personal stories to bring us together.

#7 ART TALK with Lindsay McCulloch, American artist and professor of visual arts

Épisode 7

jeudi 30 juin 2022 • Durée 41:54

Hi, I'm Bianca Vinther, the creator of The Pointless Artist. This is a conversation I had with Lindsay McCulloch, American artist and professor of visual arts based in Maryland, USA on Saturday, 28 May 2022.

Lindsay comes from a family of artists, where creativity was part of everyday life. In 2005, she received her Master of Fine Arts in painting from Boston University. Nine years later she became Associate Professor of Visual Arts at the Anne Arundel Community College in Maryland.

In this podcast episode, Lidsay explains the meaning of change, the tension between being a mother and an artist, her artistic development, and the stages of her creative process. She also talks about the female artists who influenced her art, like Elizabeth Murray and Cecily Brown, her sources of inspiration and creativity, and how she deals with artist block.

Lindsay's art, as well as her work as a teacher and, more recently, as a protester for women's rights, is a powerful example to emulate – an example of empathy, patience, and strength, of resilience and faith in the power of good and togetherness.

Listen to this podcast episode with Lindsay McCulloch and get lots of hope, light, and inspiration for your art!

#6 ART TALK with Jacques Moreau, French concert pianist and professor of music

lundi 30 mai 2022 • Durée 51:34

Hi, I'm Bianca Vinther, the creator of The Pointless Artist. This is a deep conversation I had with Jacques Moreau, French concert pianist and professor of music based in Lyon, France on Tuesday, 12 April 2022.

Jacques graduated from the Paris Conservatoire. Aside from piano concerts, he taught and held management positions within the network of French music schools since 1982. In 2002, he became Deputy-Director of the Music Department at the Lyon Conservatoire and Head of Cefedem Rhône-Alpes in Lyon, an institution that trains music teachers in innovative, student-driven, and project-based ways. During the academic year 2014-2015, Jacques was appointed by the Belgium Quality Agency for Higher Education to chair a committee in charge of assessing the four musical higher education institutions of Belgium (French part). Among other things, he’s also Academic Advisor to the Princess Galyani Vadana Institute of Music in Bangkok, Thailand.

In this episode, we talk in depth about the essence of music and the secret to being a musician, the importance of artistic expression, the role of the performer on stage and of a holistic, student-driven musical education, and we draw striking parallels to the visual arts and the art-making process.

Listen to this podcast episode with Jacques Moreau and learn about the experience of music in hic et nunc!

#5 ART TALK with Anne Brenner, Paris-based French artist

Épisode 5

mardi 17 mai 2022 • Durée 39:11

Hi, I'm Bianca Vinther, the creator of The Pointless Artist. On Saturday, 16 April 2022, I had an inspiring conversation with Anne Brenner, French painter from Paris, France.

Anne is a skilled observer, explorer, and painter of nature, especially wild animals. She approaches life in its infinite diversity with the zest, curiosity, and adventurousness of a 19th-century explorer although she doesn’t work distinctly as an explorer or a scientist but as an artist. She uses field work and silent observation to build her art not as an intruder into nature's secret chambers, but as a humble yet curious discoverer. Her unique experience of tracking animals in Africa is a milestone in her career, which has paved the way for her further development as a wildlife painter.

In this episode, we talk in depth about Anne's creative process and the way she observes Nature. We also talk about science and adventure, and the intricacies of tracking animals in Africa and producing a body of art works that are authentic testimonies of life itself. In this art talk, Anne reveals the secrets behind her works from the Ivory Coast, Canada, and the Italian wild mountains. She also discusses the ways in which she connects with the natural world and her understanding of wild animals as invaluable creatures in their own integrity and as pendant to humans.

Listen to this podcast episode with Anne Brenner and enjoy the adventure in the African bush and the Canadian forests!

#4 ART TALK with Joshua Goode, American artist and professor of arts

vendredi 25 février 2022 • Durée 43:01

Hi, I'm Bianca Vinther, creator of The Pointless Artist. On Tuesday, 15 February 2022, I had an exciting and very funny conversation with Joshua Goode, an American artist who teaches fine arts at Tarrant County College in Forth Worth, Texas (USA), manages The Carillon, the college's art gallery, and is also in charge of the college's artist residency programme.

Joshua has been connected to Spielberg’s Indiana Jones many times before (he loves the character and movies by the way, so he’s always flattered by the comparison). He has often been referred to as “Indiana Jones of Art”. Listen to this podcast episode to learn why.

We spoke about his motivation as an artist, the red-thread of his work, the way he sees, and his creative process. We also spoke about how he shares his work with others, the process of interpretation of the objects he creates, and the intricacies of producing a story and of conveying a personal narrative to others. In this art talk, Joshua reveals his secret to transforming everyday objects into meaningful ones that others can connect with. He also discusses inspiration and artist block, which are at the heart of The Pointless Artist Blog, and shares what he finds most important in life.

Via The Pointless Artist Blog, I support the creative energy of life and the artists who contribute to transforming this world into a freer, kinder, more inclusive, caring, transparent, and compassionate place to live. I firmly believe in the passion for art, the importance of sharing knowledge and experiences, and the power of personal stories to bring us together.

#3 ART TALK with Lucianna Whittle, British artist based in Brighton, U.K.

lundi 14 février 2022 • Durée 45:42

Hi. I'm Bianca Vinther, creator of The Pointless Artist. This is an art talk I had with Lucianna Whittle on Wednesday, 9 February 2022. Lucianna is a process-driven artist based in the charming and culturally vibrant city of Brighton, on the south coast of England. Apart from being a super mum of two and of swimming in the sea all year long, Lucianna dedicates a lot of her time and energy to creating gorgeous abstract paintings.

We discussed her artistic journey, how she sees reality and herself as an artist, and what seeing actually means for her. We also talked about her relationship to music and her approach to painting, as well as about her creative process, sources of inspiration, and understanding of artist block. She addressed the power of transformation, awareness, and consciousness, and revealed to me the ultimate purpose of her life.

We touched upon the practice of observational drawing and the discipline of being an artist – attention, stillness, focus among other things. In my final question, I inquired about what is most important to Lucianna as an artist and a human being. She spoke convincingly about the connection to one’s true self and the significance of deep listening.

We experienced a deep connection through a common understanding of life and the art-making process. We share the same compassionate approach to seeing, listening, and creating, as well as a passion for music. And we are equally convinced that seeing from within is the only sustainable and transformative way to experience life and get to the essence ofwho we truly are.
