Paint with Kirsty Buchanan and Safira Taylor

One for the painters out there! This week on the Mater podcast I’m joined by two painters, Safira Taylor and Kirsty Buchanan. Safira is an artist currently based in Amsterdam, her current focus is a long-term painting series titled ‘Mother Stands for Comfort’, exploring the intricacies of reproductive processes. Executed on vintage linen, these sheets bear a rich history predominantly passed down by women across generations. Kirtsty Buchanan, also based in Amsterdam, makes paintings from compositions drawn from domestic scenarios or sketches from dream diaries. She is mostly interested in the realm of the domestic and how this space can influence use of material.We touch upon the vast subjects that are paint, canvas, linen, process, paint mediums, colour, pigments… so much more to go into within each of these aspects of painting - hopefully for future episode.Find them on Instagram at safira.taylor and kirstygracesRoy Oxlade book Art and Instinct Amy Sillman Faux PasKate Bush Mother Stands for ComfortGlossary of Dying Terms:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_dyeing_termsFollow us on Instagram or visit our website Hosted on Acast.
