In this episode, acclaimed painter Nick Archer talks about how his artistic vision changed while at the Royal Academy Schools in London, how he turned to landscapes after leaving London for the countryside, how his works explore the relationship between figures and the landscape, the influence of film directors on his paintings, how his process involves a certain lack of control, how colour initiates his themes and how recent works involve fragility.
