Jack Duplock

The artist studio has dramatically changed from the old romantic, cliché of a dirty cold garret. Evolving into a work space that is adapted by the artist to cater for their means, enabling the artist to create without distraction. The studio has now become a place of interchangeable meaning. Some artists prefer a clean white space, but others use it as an office; a place to organise production, facilitating fabrication to outside manufactures or to plan schedules for fieldwork.Hosted by Jack Duplock. Private View presents conversations with artists within their studio environment. Discussing the varied ways the studio impacts on their arts practice.

    In Episode 6 Jack talks to the artist Audrey Roger. This is the first episode recorded under the current lockdown. They had the conversation using Skype.  Audrey is a French artist now based in London. Having first studied Fashion and Textile design; her work uses the techniques more associated with fashion, such as weaving to make beautiful minimal abstract paintings that are both poetic in their approach and surface.  Drifting between painterly surface and sculptural object. Audrey graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2019.  Previous shows have included: VIA ARTS Prize, Embassy of Brazil, London; New Work, MK11, London; HARK, The Old Shoreditch Station, London, Folk Art Art, Sameheads Berlin, ThreeDee, Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes, London; Womens Art Practice and Thinking: A Staged Event, Dorich House Museum, London.

    Private View#5: Matthew Cowan

    Jack talks to the artist Matthew Cowan. A New Zealand artist now living in Berlin and Helsinki. In this episode Matthew becomes the interviewer and Jack is the interviewee. In March of last year Matthew visited Jacks studio to talk to jack about his practice as part of his research towards a PHD thesis. To emphasise the collaborative and reciprocal process of creativity, Matthew asked Jack to produce a mask out of a handkerchief. The conversation grew out of both artists mutual interest in folk art and folk story.  Matthews work references traditional European customs, playing with the inherent strangeness of the continued popularity of long established folk customs in a contemporary world. He has shown his work in major institutions across Europe and internationally. Recent shows have included: Wilderness Makes This World, Seinajoki, Kunsthalle, Seinajoki, Finland, 2020; The Scream of the Strawbear, Kunsthalle, Geissen, Germany, 2019; Para Field notes, Hyppolyte Gallery, Helsinki, Finland.

    Private View #4: Charlotte Bracegirdle

    In Episode 4 Jack talks to the artist Charlotte Bracegirdle. Charlotte is a London based artist who works in painting and sculpture. Working with found imagery often of familiar iconography. In her work she plays with ideas of perception, how we perceive imagery and take certain iconography for granted. By carefully painting out certain areas of the appropriated image, Charlotte puts into question our preconceptions of that image. Allowing us to look more carefully at the image and in turn creating a new one, letting us fill in the blank spaces with our imagination. Charlotte gained an MA at Royal College of Art in 2006 and BA (Hons) Degree at Southampton institute in 1997. Charlotte has shown her work at Cynthia Corbett Gallery, London; Schneider Hall Galleries, University of Louisville, Kentucky, USA; Opus Art Gallery, Newcastle; Aipad, New York; Eric Franck Fine Art, London. Like Reece Jones and Will Martyr in the previous episodes, I’ve known Charlotte for a long time having studied with her in Southampton. We talk about how her art practice progressed over the years since graduating from Southampton including working in various studios and the move from Southampton to London.  You can follow her work on Instagram @charlotte_bracegirdle

    Private View #3: Will Martyr

    In episode three I talked to the artist Will Martyr in his studio in Deptford, South London.  At the time of the conversation he had just completed a successful solo show at Unit Gallery, London and was currently working on several large commissions. I used to share a studio with Will so it was great to catch up in his new large studio.  Wills colourful hard edge paintings depict luxury interiors and the surrounding landscape. Alluding to an aesthetic of affluence; his paintings are influenced by Pop art of the early 1960's. Will trained at The Slade School of Fine Art, London, The New York Studio School, NYC and The Royal College of Art, London. He is represented by 'Unit London' and has work in various high profile, international private and corporate collections worldwide. Selected collections include: Creative Cities Collection, Chinese Gov, Beijing; Al Quasimi Royal Collection, Sharjah, UAE; ABN AMRO, Sydney, Australia; Black Ocean Development, Stockholm, Sweden; RJI Captial, London, UK.

    Private View #2: Reece Jones (Part 2)

    In this episode I talked to the artist Reece Jones. I’ve known Reece for almost twenty years. First meeting him at the Royal Academy School of Art, when I was in the third year and he was in the first year. Then later amongst the circle of artists and friends who hung out and were involved with the two project spaces, Rockwell and Keith Talent during the early 2000’s. Reece was one of the co-founders of Rockwell space. Keith Talent was run and co-founded by Andrew Clarkin and Simon Pittuck. Both were in Hackney, London.   This was an exciting period to be an artist when it seemed a scene was happening, through pop-up shows in project spaces in abandoned warehouses, mainly situated around the East End.   We discuss this period and its significance to Reece’s development as an artist. And also about the Royal Academy school of art, amongst other subjects such as teaching and music  Reece makes beautiful drawings made up of complex layers of charcoal that is then meticulously erased to reveal areas of light and darkness. Recent work depict landscapes with a cubic or cylindrical monolith of light emerging from the darkness, evoking the romantic sublime; but also are cinematic in appearance referencing science fiction films such as Andre Tarkovsky's, Stalker and Stanley Kubrick's, 2001 Space Oddessy. Since leaving the Royal Academy in 2002 he has exhibited extensively. He has had work shown in the drawing Room in London, All Visual Arts in London, Torrance Art Museum in California, Wooster Projects in New York, Triumph Gallery Moscow. Recently he was in the group show The Gulf Between at Cultuurhus de Warande, Turnhot in Belgium and in This Land Is Our Land at Paper in Manchester; curated  by Simon Woolham and Stephen Walter. He is currently showing in the group show A Dreadful Day which opens this month at Paul Stolper Gallery. Check his work on Instagram @studiorjones. Our conversation was held in his studio in Mile End, on a cold evening in December 2018.
