Abstract Artist John Walker in Conversation with Jonathan Watkins
From as early as the 1970s John Walker was one of the most influential and imitated painters working in the UK; he exhibited alongside Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, represented his country at the 1972 Venice Biennale, had extensive survey shows at both the Tate and Hayward galleries and was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1985.
On the occasion of Walker's exhibition at Messums London, we present a conversation between John and Jonathan Watkins. Jonathan Watkins is an English curator, and the former Director of the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham.

Life Stories with Kitty Shepherd
Ceramic artist Kitty Shepherd specialises in slipware, the technique of painting on damp clay using coloured slip and through her designs she creates dynamic and joyful works of art that evoke feelings of nostalgia and joy. Kitty arrived in Spain rather by accident, but the circumstances had a positive and direct effect on her work. Her upbringing might be considered unorthodox and Kitty talks candidly to radio broadcaster Ian Rutter about her mysterious father, her maverick mother and an idyllic Sussex childhood.
