John Busher

In episode 11 of the Bit of Gallery podcast, I'm chatting with Wexford based artist, John Busher. John works in painting and printmaking and we talk about his studio practice and also his curatorial experience, including his how in the complex and Sift, an exhibition consisting of work created by 6 artist from different parts of the work, both of these shows looked incredible and also seemed challenging as both were installed in locations where the wall space was not what would be typically associated with 2D work.

You can see more of John's work and process over on his Instagram

I also mention an essay that I had read a while ago, it can be found in the book, Figuring out Figurative Art: Contemporary Philosophers on Contemporary Painting

Discovering Lafcadio Hearn Through Art

No guest this week due to me having internet troubles, so episode 8 is me sitting in a room talking to a microphone for half an hour. I chat about how I discovered Lafcadio Hearn's work through an artistic opportunity 2 years ago and chat a little bit about the year after, which involved research sketching and painting towards a group show. I meant to blog about it but never got around to it and with the podcast up and running the blog has gone dormant.

I mention a novel at one stage but at the time of recording I couldn't remember the name of it, it's The Sweetest Fruits by Monica Truong

I also mentioned Kwaidan by Lafcadio Hearn, here's the link to the book on Goodreads
