What goes into being a successful artist?
\n
\nAnd what is fundamental when it comes to making a living in the art world?
\n
\nToday I\u2019m speaking with Ben Ashton, a master of subversion. His art is both beautiful and challenging; a clash of past and future that merges classic techniques with new ideas.
\n
\nGQ style called him a modern master, and his work, inspired by old master techniques, has been embraced by the global pop surrealist movement.
\n
\nWe talk about the power of patience and resilience to realise your purpose.
\n
\nHow necessity truly was the mother of invention \u2013 and the main creative idea \u2013 when Ben executed the \u201cFall in Love Again\u201d official video by Rag'n\u2019Bone Man.
\n
\nWe talk about the power of flexibility and networks.
\n
\nHow to live out your purpose\u2026 and follow your heart.
\n
\nAnd pursuing and maintaining a brand that is truly authentic.
\n
\nBen talks of fighting against the traditional London art scene. And what that means. And then his route to feeling content.
\n
\nAnd we end on a glimpse to what his next show is going to be about. Which is super cool!
\n
\nThis is a must listen. I was totally buzzing at the end of this one. The energy is electric. And it was SUPER FUN to record.
\n
\nSo throw on those running shoes or grab your favourite beverage. And get inspired, with Ben.
