This sharp and to the point podcast episode with Lucianna Whittle, a Brighton-based process-driven painter, is about meaning in art and audience response.

Does art have a purpose? Do and should contemporary artworks have a meaning, a specific content? Can and should they be interpreted?

How does contemporary audience response look like? What shouldn't visual artists expect from their audiences?

And how should visual artists make art best: with the potential buyer and his expectations in mind or, like the Sudanese painter and Tate Gallery artist Ibrahim El-Salahi once said, "with no idea whatsoever about what [the artwork] is going to look like"?

Take a listen to this poignant conversation with Lucianna Whittle, and come talk with us next time on The Pointless Artist Podcast about purpose in art, the art-making process, and audience response!

I firmly believe in the passion for art, the importance of sharing knowledge and experiences, and the power of personal stories to bring us together.
