In Episode #31 Marx has a conversation with Canadian artist David Elliott
David Elliott is a staple of the Canadian community of painters, he has been associated with the late seventies and early eighties return to figuration. David was born in Niagara on the Lake and grew up in several towns in Ontario. In this interview he shares the story that he calls the “Eureka moment”, when he discovered a painting in the London (Ontario) library and everything happened in the arts after that.
David moved to Montreal to pursue his BFA and MFA degrees at Concordia University where he also was part of the faculty until he retired recently.
In this interview he describes his work and being a professor, he is able to elegantly place his work around many historical references including the music of the moment (Beetles, etc.) and also he shared a long list of artists both Canadian and international that played an important role in his artistic development.
His work is collected in prestigious private and public collections around Canada
I am very pleased to be able to share this conversation with David Elliott, it’s one of those that is packed with great insights and information that artists specifically may not want to miss.
Thanks for listening!

In Episode #27 Rebecca Davison-Mora shares with Marx her non-traditional path to arts management.
Rebecca is an Arts Manager and emerging researcher with a focus on cultural relations and de colonial institutional practice. Interested in hybridity and crossing of boundaries/borders, her work originates from her interrogation of the self and position as a mixed researcher and arts worker.
She holds a BA from York University and is currently completing her MA in Arts and Cultural Management at King’s College London. Previous positions include Gallery Manager at Patel Brown, and Director of Samuel J Zacks Gallery at York University, both in Toronto. She is currently based in London UK and is working on research using the British Museum’s archives and holdings of Mexican objects to reveal insights into constructions of Mexican national identity in the European context.
