In this episode, British abstract artist and filmmaker Mark James talks about his tortuous route to securing a place at Goldsmith’s art college, how he witnessed the Freeze exhibition mounted by the so-called Young British Artists, YBAs, and how he made a subsequent film about it, the intrigue behind his first film about the American sculptor Carl Andre, how films about other artists both dead and alive re-awakened his desire to resume painting, how random shapes and forms inspire his abstract work and how he strives to create emotion in his paintings.
