Is That Art?

We had the privilege of hosting a debate at Wrexham University Art Department, where we discussed AI in art. The panel consisted of Raymond Jones, A professional photographer, and Liam Stokes-Massey, an illustrator a mural artist. Some really interesting points raised!

We chat with Luke Chapman, artist, musician and chainsaw carver. Discussions include neuro-divergence, John Hurt's Cows, German music appreciation, and much more!Check out Luke online - Facebook - Instagram - Website

We take a little dive into some aimless chat. This is a shorter episode while we get prepared for our next interview with Luke Chapman, sculptor and musician from Norfolk.

We have a chat with Ryan Firchau about his background, and how he worked towards a career in game design. Inevitably we end up going off topic a lot and never getting round to discussing how AI is shaping the industry today.Follow us on instagram.com/isthatartpodLike and subscribe to our Youtube Chanel of the same title.Ryan is on instagram.com/firecrow78Paul Is on instagram.com/pauledsculpts and now instagram.com/edacheanimation with his foray into the world of animationSimon is on instagram.com/simonorourkeand on Facebook.com/simonorourketreecarving

We chat about western society and how much art is valued, and inevitably go off on tangents about unrelated subjects. "Hitler was a great graphic designer" and other problematic quotes must not be taken out of context.Follow us on Instagram.com/isthatartpodLike and subscribe to our YouTube channelPaul is on instagram.com/pauledsculpts and now instagram.com/edacheanimation with his foray into the world of animation...Simon is on instagram.com/simonorourkeand on facebook.com/simonorourketreecarving

We chat to Hannah-Jayne Smith about curating galleries, writing to fairies, and mental wellbeing. A more serious podcast by our standards, it was brilliant to talk to Hannah-Jayne about her work at Steak of the Art Restaurants, and her own business - Wellbeing Done Well.Follow her on Instagram.com/hj_wellbeingdonewellVisit her website - www.wellbeingdonewell.co.uk

Simon and Paul chat about the life and work of Damien Hirst, a controversial figure in the Art world. Was he genuinely exploring new concepts or taking advantage of every Tarquin on the planet?

We discuss the life and work of Rodin, one of our favourite sculptors. Digressions into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles influence on his work and whether or not he spent time making garden gnomes for mass production.
