093: Sophie Crichton

Every now and again, the Radio Juxtapoz podcast gets a chance to catch an emerging artist on the cusp of a pivotal moment in their career. What mean is literally in the gallery with the artist as their newest show is about to open. We love that, the energy and anxiety, the excitement and contemplation. In the instance of Toronto-born, Barcelona based Sophie Crichton, we found her at her solo show Bare Bones, opening at OMNI Gallery in London and her at the precipice of a major moment for her career.

Bare Bones is about abstraction, but it's also about the feelings we can't quite say in words as we go about this ever-changing landscape that we call daily life. We don't often have conversations with abstract painters on the podcast, but there is something so refreshing about conversations about mark-making, the challenges of abstraction and how an artist uprooted her life in Toronto for a completely new scene in Spain.

The Radio Juxtapoz podcast is hosted by FIFTH WALL TV's Doug Gillen and Juxtapoz editor, Evan Pricco. Episode 093 was recorded on August 8, 2022 in London Follow us on @radiojuxtapoz
