“Art, like wine, comes with its own language. In an effort to maintain exclusivity in a subject some people who claim to be knowledgeable about art often pepper their chat with pretentious terminology that serves only to alienate the less familiar consumer.
Rob and Russell are both phenomenally knowledgeable about contemporary art, but rather than freeze out anyone who might be interested in finding out more about it (and how to start collecting it), they have set out to democratise art chat for even the most uninitiated gallery visitor.
The duo are warm, erudite and witty. Their obvious rapport inspires you to look up the work, not to be intimated by a pressing the buzzer on a gallery and gives an insight into artists behind the work. They speak to a broad and impressive range of interviewees who are are united not necessarily by an encyclopaedic knowledge of art history, but by a genuine passion to enjoy art on their own terms.
Love it!”
