This week's episode see's Leo in conversation with Curator and founder of Brushes with Greatness, Jack Trodd
-
Jack Trodd is a London based curator, and gallerist. A lifelong lover of art and passionate creative, Jack came from a marketing background to realise his intense passion for supporting artists, giving birth to Brushes with Greatness. He works with a variety of emerging talents to produce exciting exhibitions and connect artists with collectors around the globe.
-
Late in 2021 Jack curated and produced a show entitled, 'Into the Cosmere', an 18 artist group show which celebrated fantastical, alien landscapes, and the world builders who create them. As a first outing, it was a triumph, and he has gone on to develop this practice to produce another exhibition which is currently on, as of January 2022 at Tap and Bottle in London Bridge. Acting as an art world conduit, Jack brings a whirlwind of energy and enthusiasm to all the projects he embarks on.
-
During our chat, we discussed Jack's entry into art, his initial fascination with colour and lifelong adoration of the fantastical. We delve into the biggest problems we often see artists struggling with and how best to navigate that.  Also mentioned in this episode are some tales from his thespian cum heavy metal fan days and we take a look at the pieces in his collection that stand out to him.

Thank you so much to Jack for coming on the podcast.
