Welcome to 'From The Art', the podcast where we talk all things art straight from the heart.
With all the honesty and none of the pretence, we cover what's trending in contemporary art right now, from who's hot to navigating the art industry, and of course, the main thing we all love about - the stories - from artists, gallery reps and collectors about the ways art has touched our lives.
From The Art is hosted by Monique Michel, Master of Arts Research, Author and Arts Writer.
Interview with artist Juan Manuel Romero. How does that bastard draw so well?
I share my heartfelt interview with the multidisciplinary Argentinian artist Juan Manel Romero who reached out to us at 19Karen following his hiatus from painting in 2020. Like many creatives, post 2020 has been a transformative time for Juan, one of re-evaluation and reflection, of personal challenge and reacquaintance both with his creative roots and his creative motivations. Best of all, the enigmatic power of art brings Juan and I to tears when talking about one of his paintings I sold to a client…

19Karen Opening night (Glendon Cordell)
In episode 3 I throw caution to the wind and delay my scheduled chat with Argentinian artist Juan Manuel Romero to share the recent raw and real audio from the opening address at 19Karen's first exhibition of the year held on March 16, featuring Australian landscape artist Glendon Cordell along with a string of other talented artists from near and far.
Importantly, I consider the question: "What makes one artist catch the eye of collectors over another?"

Was Andy an innovative introspective or just fame hungry?
Which is more important - artistic merit or being able to market it?
After acquainting myself with the often-bizarre theatrics of Warhols persona, I discovered a third facet to Andy that I hadn't properly considered.

What is an artist?
There are many ways to contemplate art and its role in society. For some, it's a source of income; for others, a hobby; for many, it’s a necessity - not unlike breathing air. For others again, their interaction with art is a form of voyeurism. They don’t actively participate but they sure as hell like to watch.
In today's episode, I take you on a cook's tour of the story of my own personal experiences with art and my dissemination of it.
Whatever your position, art is a dietary staple transcending culture, age and gender. Art in all its forms is everywhere. It interplays with our existence like a mirror, showing us both the beautiful truth of ourselves and what parts of humanity could use a little adjustment.
In this episode, we explore the question: "What is art?"
