Jo Lane sharing a bit about herself. How do I describe my Art? I say I am a ‘drawer’, and I quickly follow up that even if I paint I consider I am drawing in paint.... then they get it. Nothing, in particular, drew me to be an artist – I just am one. I think in visual terms, and I am not happy/whole/relevant unless I am creating a work. My art is entirely an internal affair. I go to a place where puzzles, sense and feeling reign.

Nine Recommended Podcasts from the ART500 Artists (plus another five we forgot to mention)  In the studio, some artists like silence while they work, some listen to music, and quite a few enjoy the background of podcasts.
A podcast with a limited time investment can break up a routine. The sound of conversation, if it is interesting and not too intrusive, can help to separate out the conscious busy mind with the subconscious parts of the brain that are needed in creative flow. We asked the ART500 artists, which podcasts they wanted to share. Unsurprisingly for Australian artists, there were a lot who are currently enjoying the brilliantly insightful and sensitive podcast Talking with Painters. But there is also true crime, comedy, philosophy and of course, more art. Here’s the list. If you have a podcast you’d like to recommend to our artists, please let us know. On Instagram @artfivehundred on Facebook @Art500Gallery Merryn Trevethan: This Wild Song is a series of honest conversations with TWS artists about art, business and life. Conversations. Also The Jealous Curator and A Room of One's Own - I find the conversations inspiring and I like the way they normalise and bring light on common struggles of being an artist but also focus on the good stuff! Georgina Campbell: This American Life, good stories you can tune in to or out of as needed. Tiel Seivl-Keevers: ABC Conversations with Richard Fidler...seems to a stable favourite as it covers a range of interests and stories. (Side note: ABC Conversation episode with our good friend paint maker David Coles and husband of ART500 artist Louise Blyton) Louise Blyton: They Walk Among Us, UK true crime. Vito Manfredi: I like NPR, National Public Radio podcasts because they can be offbeat and innovative in the topics and approach. Simon Collins: I enjoy comedy, Australian politics on ABC and seasonally football podcasts (round ball). I’ll nominate The Dollop, a hilarious comedy) I don't listen to a whole lot of art podcasts but have really liked picking and choosing episodes from Talking with Painters. Amanda van Gils: The Cleverness by Dr Jason Fox is “An almost practical podcast exploring leadership, philosophy, motivation & metamodernism”. I adore the use of language, the provocations and the focus on ambiguity and complexity which are two concepts I find continually fascinating. My favourite episode so far is with Australian Artist and Graphic recorder Sarah Firth. I also enjoy the Talking with Painters, This Wild Song and The Jealous Curator podcasts. And three more comments on Talking with Painters, the podcast where Australian painters talk with Maria Stoljar about their life and art Minka Gillian: “Talking with Painters is great! Its inspiring and every artist's stories are different. I'm also a secret painter!” Susie Leahy Raleigh: “Talking with Painters reminds me I am not alone” Shirley Ploog: “Podcasts are a great tool for me as I work long hours in the studio. Talking with Painters with Maria Stoljar is my fave!” Here are the five nobody remembered to mention that you might like to check out. The Modern Art Notes Podcast has been running since 2011 producing weekly, hour-long interview episodes with artists, historians, authors, curators and conservators. Focusing on contemporary modern art Bad at Sports features artists and art world-ers talking about art and the community that makes, reviews and participates in it. Provocative, curious, a bit naughty. The Conversation is a podcast ostensibly about the world of contemporary art, featuring conversations with artists, collectors, curators, writers, dealers, and gallerists—as well as the odd miscellaneous art world individual. A Piece of Work is “everything you wanted to know about modern and contemporary art but were afraid to ask”. Lively conversations with curators, artists, and others. The Abundant Artist is committed to dispelling the myth of the starving artist. Features interviews with successful artists who impart valuable advice on the business of art. Do you have any podcasts you'd like to recommend to us? Let us know  In April we featured Steve Warburton in our 'Meet the Artist' features on Instagram in the lead up to not one but two shows. Steve was hard at work on a new body of six paintings for a group exhibition curated by Meaghan Shelton at Gympie Regional Art Gallery - Rites of Passage. At the same time he was completing large scaled works for his solo exhibition Alternative Facts at Tacit Gallery in Melbourne. We interrupted his busy schedule to talk to ART500.  I never quite know how to describe my work other than to say it is oil-based medium, figurative, landscapes of ever-changing imagery that reflects my impression of who we are. Mood has always been important in my work. I like the viewer to feel something and then go away with an emotional response.
A period that had a big impact on me was when I was having a solo show each year for 6 consecutive years. Sadly the gallery closed but it showed me I could work towards regular shows with new work. I think as an artist, I was happiest then. Though, my work has continued to improved since then, those years helped form the person I am today.⠀  I live in a semi-rural area called Emerald surrounded by forests and paddocks. It is mostly quiet, which I like. Even though I always listen to music when I work, I like the quiet outside. I have used elements of the surrounding environment in my work when it has inspired me. When I am not making art I like to ride my bike(s) through forests and quiet country roads, experiencing the wildlife – looking for inspiration. ⠀⠀  Steve Warburton April 2019 Thank you for the insights Steve. We are very pleased to have some stunning new paintings from Steve exclusive to ART500. 30x30cm works representing exceptional value at just $500 each for ART500 buyers only. Click the images below to see more detail. Steve has also provided ART500 with two works for the ArtBeyond500 section. These are larger scaled works offered at special price through ART500.
The ideas for these works are ones that Steve has been ruminating on for a number of years and only recently developed into completed works for the Rites of Passage exhibition. |
