Show Notes
This week i sit down with Musonga Mbogo, a visual artist and painter based in Canberra NSW, Australia. We chatted about the importance of paving the way to create the things you want to see in the world, the importance of rushing yourself and using art as a way of finding your own identity as a human and an artist. How location and culture deeply impacts his art practice, and it was so amazing to hear about all the incredible projects he has worked on as well as his insights into how he approaches his creative lifestyle. Such a great chat thank you Musonga for your calming warm spirit!

More from Nitty Gritty
This week Flick and I are back in London with artist Alma Berrow. Self-taught, Alma calls herself an artist who works with clay rather than a ceramicist. Her sculptural installations turn everyday objects into something humorous, surreal and quietly loaded: ashtrays, oysters, Ritz crackers, pomegranates, a lone gherkin placed beside a bowl of them.
I’m back with illustrator, artist and curator Tabby Booth for round two! A year after her first Nitty Gritty episode, we caught up outside the Tate Modern for a chat I'm very excited to share.
Got a big following but no one's buying? I'm flying solo today to break down the difference between building an audience of peers and one of buyers, and why your approach to content makes all the difference when it comes to selling art online.
This week Flick joins me in Copenhagen for a chat with artist Arne Ohlsen.
Should your work look like an extension of you? This week, I sit down in Lisbon with Ukrainian-born, Portugal-based textile artist Bombony. Best known for her geometric textile works, Bombony draws on her background in architecture to create intuitive compositions that balance structure and softness, allowing meaning to reveal itself over time.
