Our top artist interviews

One of our most popular recent interviews was a talk with Nelson Makamo, a South African painter and winner of 2018’s Rise Art Prize known for his expressive portraits. Our conversation with Kelvin Okafor, who creates intricate photorealistic pencil portraits, dove into his unique fusion of the technical and the conceptual. You may also enjoy our interview with Fred Ingrams, in which he discusses both his technical process and what drew him to start painting the Fens.

Euphrosyne Andrews and Daniel Fletcher: Blurring Boundaries and Authorship

Artists Euphrosyne Andrews and Daniel Fletcher present a new body of collaborative works, 'Change Prevails', exploring the thresholds between landscape, materiality, and gesture. Created en plein air and developed through an ongoing dialogue between their distinct practices, these paintings trace the delicate intersections of public and private space, softness and structure, intuition and control.

Lobo Velar de Irigoyen: error is the most genuine thing we can offer the world

From Marcel Proust and François Cheng to passages from Genesis, Lobo Velar de Irigoyen draws on a wealth of philosophical ideas, worldly phenomena and literary influences to inspire the works in his latest series, launching exclusively on Rise Art. Eggs, magical monoliths and celestial spheres populate his universe, scored by Kate Tempest and ode to Montezuma’s Revenge. Discover the questions, answers and contemplations that lie behind Irigoyen’s genre-defying works.

Tenderbeing: Ariadna Dane

In Tenderbeing, Ariadna Dane charts a profound inward turn. Best known for her meditative studies of the natural world, an amalgamation of AR and paintwork honouring overlooked, organic wonders, her latest series marks a striking shift. Not a rejection of her earlier work, but a transformation; where her past paintings explored the visual poetry of nature, Tenderbeing feels like a slow, courageous excavation of the self.

Andrea Plaza on Serendipity and Ecological Practices

"My practice reflects a commitment to transforming what already exists into something of greater value, both personally and socially, and presents a visual testament to the possibility of living harmoniously with our surroundings."

Valentin Renner on String Art: "I'm exploring order, chaos, and the spaces in between."

From a childhood dream of sailing the world to crafting intricate thread-based sculptures, Valentin Renner has always been driven by a desire to explore. What began as a personal project marking the places he’d visited has evolved into a refined, meditative practice exploring order, chaos, and the spaces in between.

David Schmitt: "Somewhere between the sacred and the profane."

We are pleased to present a new series of works by David Schmitt. Working under the artistic moniker Tuyo, the self-taught painter and printmaker combines a deliberately archaic and childlike aesthetic with bold visuals and incisive commentaries. His use of textured surfaces and raw, elemental forms evokes a sense of timeless simplicity that is both compelling and refined.

Kim Marra: Exploring the Emotional Architecture of Domestic Space

Delve into layered, psychological interiors crafted by US artist Kim Marra. Working primarily in oil, Marra blurs the line between real and imagined spaces, using elements of collage, abstraction, and intuitive mark-making to evoke the textures of memory and emotion. Curtains, beds, and domestic fragments transform into portals of comfort, disorientation, and introspection...

Héloïse O'Keeffe: Quiet, Assured, Unapologetic

Héloïse O’Keeffe is feeling inspired. Inspired in such a way that you want to lean in, like a flower to the sun, to soak up some of that inspiration too.

Jasmine Mansbridge: Postcards from Another Realm

Within the intricate geometry of Jasmine Mansbridge’s paintings, there is a whisper of something ancient, something celestial—and something deeply, achingly human.
