Considering Art Podcast – Jean-Luc Almond, painter
Description
Jean-Luc Almond is a prize-winning portrait painter whose images are distorted in order to give them a psychological and emotional depth, representing the polarities of the human condition. In this episode, he talks about his early life in Africa, how he developed his current visual language at art school, how working in care homes influenced his oil paintings, how the texture and materiality of paint itself becomes as important as the representational subject, how he expresses the polarities of the human condition and how he’s been influenced by Victorian post mortem photography.
