Unsung Art Podcast

A really fun and quick chat with artist Faatimah Mohamed-Luke about the brand new works that have just launched on our online store. Yes, she uses LEGO as her medium.

In part one of this two part episode, we chat to helo samo as we unpack the concept and stories behind his creations. helo samo is a mixed media artist using methods from illustration, installation, animation sound, film and photography to portray the relationship between dreams, human behaviour, nature and different states of consciousness. We touch on some serious topics throughout our chats as his work deals with how everything we consider OK in society has a numbing impact on us, how we are experiencing a disconnection between man and nature, the manipulation cocktails administered by figures we trust and our own vanity.

A funny and insightful discussion with artist, Dean Jensen about the medium of charcoal and his relationship with it. He believes that it is a medium that can be extremely tactile and expressive and that you should not be too precious with it, but allow yourself to experience its hands-on approach. Dean also talks about allowing yourself to get creative with how you manipulate the charcoal on paper urging you to step outside of the box a little.  Check out all the work available from Dean over at his artist profile: https://unsungart.co.za/product-category/artists/south-african-artist-dean-jensen/ Also find him on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jensencrunch/
