Adelaide Damoah / Huddie Hamper (Special Episode)

New Talk Art!!! For this special episode, we partner with Winsor & Newton to explore oil painting with two super-talented, contemporary artists! In part 1, Russell & Robert meet Adelaide Damoah RWA FRSA, a British painter and performance artist of Ghanaian descent who uses her body as the starting point for much of her work. Themes of particular interest include feminism, colonialism, religion and spirituality. We discuss her fresh approach to painting including her use of her own body as a “paintbrush of sorts” and the importance of oil paint within her performances. Follow @AdelaideDamoah or visit her official website: www.AdelaideDamoahArt.comIn part 2, R&R chat to Huddie Hamper, a 20 year-old emerging British painter and printmaker who works predominantly in oils and charcoal but also frequently making woodcuts. His work is often deeply personal in nature, responding to a tradition of self-portraiture and revealing intimate, personal stories. We discuss his passion for oil painting and why he sees painting as a lifelong pursuit and journey. Hamper will graduate next year from the Slade School of Fine Art, London.
