10 min read Milo Astaire visits the cottage studio of British painter Rose Wylie, and finds an artist whose tour de force of life and humour is embodied in paint On a blustery, overcast day at the tail end of winter, I stepped out of Faversham train station and gave a taxi driver an address in the neighbouring village of Newnham. “Are you off to visit the artist?” the driver exclaimed. “Yes. How did you know?” “We are always dropping off people dressed like you at her place. She has a lot of...

12 min read Finn Constantine pays a visit to Paris-based multi-hyphenate artist Courtney MC to talk religious creativity, fashion censorship and artistic freedom It’s summertime and an air of possibility surrounds me. I’ve just got back from a trip to Los Angeles, and will dart to Spain in a few hours. It’s 5 am and frankly, I should be exhausted, over it and slightly wishing summer would just hurry up. But today, I feel excited and invigorated. Why? Because a day trip to Paris awaits, to...

9 min read We all have a vision of Los Angeles in our heads before we see it for the first time. Sepia-drenched streets under a canopy of palm trees; big lips, small dogs, green juice, neon lights and a climate ripe with dashed dreams and dogged ambition. Japanese artist Izumi Kato visited LA for the first time last month. Before he went, I asked him what the city looked like in his imagination. The response catches me off-guard: “LA might be a dangerous place, with a lot of gangs,” he said...

11 min read Douglas Gordon is an artist whom we’ve admired for a long time. He’s one of those artists that has transcended into cult status. Somewhere between the work, his look and the myths that he has created, Douglas has this very mythical feeling around him. The writing that follows is mostly all true. It’s an attempt to allow form to follow function, somewhere amidst the chaotic indeterminacy of walking into DG’s life. It’s late March in London. A friend who knows Douglas very kindly...

12 min read “Oh my god, it’s as if someone’s sunbleached Memphis”, Rhys Coren says about his collaborative exhibition with Sean Thomson at The Artist Room gallery. The installation has also been likened to both a Lars von Trier film and a public toilet. They sat down with Laurie Barron at Plaster HQ to talk about American modernist taste, Raymond Hains paintings and ruthless art directors. ‘Sean Thompson x Rhys Coren’ continues in The Artist Room’s outdoor project space until 10th February....

7 min read Rafik Greiss’ studio is located within an industrial campus on the outskirts of Paris, called POUSH: an ensemble of former office buildings now housing some 250 artist studios. He moved in in October and shares a space—divided into ample sections—with fellow artist Pol Tabouret. At the time of our meeting, on a brisk February afternoon, his studio was surprisingly austere, although Greiss explained he was waiting on a shipment of items he’d collected from public space from two...
