Paint Talk | @paint_talk :
Paint Talk is a curatorial platform based in London, founded by Mark Connolly.
It was founded as an umbrella for ongoing projects, exhibitions and collaborations.
Initially existing solely as a digital platform @paint_talk, where invited artists would have total freedom to share anything and everything connected to their studio practice. This entailed glances into each artist's practice over the years, sources of inspiration, references to historical and contemporary influences, the work of peers, studio views, works in progress, live video streaming of private views etc.
The account, led by the invited artists, has created a highly engaged community, a digital resource, generating discourse around historical and contemporary painting.
Breaking away from digital space, Paint Talk has delivered several exhibitions in the UK and Belgium, co-founded The Waverton Art Prize, and will soon deliver a podcast focused on interviewing painters.
The vision for Paint Talk lies both in and beyond curation, presenting the work of emerging and established artists is and will continue to be a central focus.
