    8: Clare Woods: One of the most important British artists working today on her evolving practice and the tension that runs through works bursting with colour
    Mar 7 2024
    This episode of Making a Mark explores the work of Clare Woods (b. 1972), the connections between the artist's life and ever evolving practice, which has expanded from painting to prints and collage.

    We meet Woods in her vast studio where she has recently installed a printing press. Woods discusses the physicality of her practice; the tension, trauma and conflict that runs through her work; and how she comes up with her intriguing artwork titles.

    Contributors include founder and gallery co-director, Alan Cristea; writer and former Frieze magazine editor, Jennifer Higgie, who has written about Woods; and Simon Wallis, Director of the Hepworth Wakefield, who first exhibited Woods' work in a solo show in 2011.

    Presented by writer and critic, Charlotte Mullins.

    This podcast episode coincides with the exhibition Clare Woods: Soft Knock at Cristea Roberts Gallery (8 March – 20 April 2024).

    7: Yinka Shonibare CBE: A globally celebrated artist on race, class, and constructions of cultural identity
    Oct 19 2023
    This episode of Making a Mark explores the printmaking practice of Yinka Shonibare CBE (b. 1962), a globally celebrated artist whose work examines race, class, and constructions of cultural identity.

    We meet Shonibare in his busy East London studio, surrounded by his prints and rolls upon rolls of Batik fabric, a symbolic and distinct feature of the artist’s work. Listen in as Shonibare explains why this fabric has become a recurrent motif for everything he wants to say about identity, politics, colonialism, and postcolonialism.

    Shonibare discusses how in recent years he has returned to two-dimensional work in the form of printmaking. Find out about the complex way he makes his woodblock prints and about his subject matter, including how the election of Donald Trump informed his first ever print project with Cristea Roberts Gallery and how the imagery of a large-scale print made in response to the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, was born from a rejected commission, deemed too controversial.

    We also find out why in his recent prints, Shonibare has chosen to illustrate the radical influence of African artefacts on the work of western modernists, from Picasso, Derain, Modigliani, Matisse to Man Ray and his fellow artists in the Dada and Surrealist movements.

    Contributors include gallery director, David Cleaton-Roberts and curator, writer and broadcaster Ekow Eshun. Presented by writer and critic, Charlotte Mullins.

    6: Joe Tilson: One of Britain's most important living artists, a founding figure of British Pop Art and ground-breaking printmaker
    Jan 19 2023
    The sixth episode of Making a Mark explores the life and work of one of Britain’s most important living artists, Joe Tilson (b. 1928), and the continued centrality of printmaking to his practice.

    As a lifelong dedicated and subversive printmaker, we meet Tilson in his London studio on the eve of his 94th birthday, to discuss the preoccupations, inspirations, philosophy, and methods, that have been the focus of his graphic works for over half a century.  From prints made in the 1960s by Tilson, then an exponent of British Pop Art, to new hand-coloured editions, inspired by cultural history, we explore how Tilson continues to defy and challenge the rule book of printmaking. 
      
    Contributors include gallery founder and director Alan Cristea, who has worked with Tilson since 1969; interior designer, founder and creative director of Firmdale Hotels, Kit Kemp, who collects Tilson’s prints and art historian, writer and curator Marco Livingstone, who has authored a new biography about Tilson, launching in May 2023. 
     
    Presented by writer and critic, Charlotte Mullins.
    This podcast episode coincides with the exhibition Joe Tilson: Breaking the Rules at Cristea Roberts Gallery (28 April – 17 June 2023).

    Making a Mark is a podcast by Cristea Roberts Gallery exploring the relationship between artists and printmaking.⁠
