About this episode
Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for Artists. On today’s episode we talk with artist Mark Joshua Epstein, whose work has been widely exhibited in the U.S. and internationally. A graduate of the Slade School of Fine Arts, Epstein has held residencies at prestigious institutions like the British School at Rome. His work has appeared in publications such as the New York Times and Hyperallergic, and he is currently an artist-in-residence at the Sharpe Walentas Studio Program in Brooklyn, NY. Today we dive into more of Marks artistic practice starting with flexible tape and it’s role in creating borders that carry cultural and compositional weight. We discussed the intimidation of starting a new work, the rhythm and tempo of an artist process and the transformative impact of critiques. This conversation also touches on the books that inspire studio practice, advice for acrylic painters and some thoughtful guidance for younger artists navigating their creative journeys.
