Art Juice Ep 13: Does Your Art Need a Gimmick?

We explore the difference between artists who have settled on a process and/or subject matter that works for them, and those who are continually searching. Perhaps there isn’t as much of a difference as we are assuming. Our discussion ranges from pop art to cubism and from Damian Hirst to a colour-blind Yorkshire farmer. Perhaps it's not that art needs a gimmick to succeed, but that it needs a story, so that others can relate to it.

We also answer a question from a listener, who asks "How much do you concern yourself with contemporary, 'critically relevant' art? How do you navigate the call to innovate versus just following your own pleasure and intuition?"
