This weeks guest on episode 38 of The Artists Contemporary Podcast is @dianechappalley Diane is a London based artist whose practice focuses on painting and most recently ceramics. She studied at @cglartschool and the @sladeschool. Diane work explores the forest floor and the world within in. She depicts the worlds that we don’t see or focus on as walk, pushing them beyond reality and into their own world. When creating work Diane doesn’t have a fixed plan, she carves the painting out of the raw painting. This technique can also be seen in her recent exploration into ceramics. Diane is currently working on a brand new series of clay flowers for a duo show in September with @annareading. Diane talks about her approach to scale and how she feels that her large and smaller works have a different feel and energy to them. They are doing completely different things, Anna and Diane discus how the different scales almost create two different mediums with her work. From the smaller works being a close and intimate moment on the canvas to the large works depicting a large section of flowers and forest.
