Considering Art Podcast – Juliette Losq, painter and sculptor

British artist Juliette Losq is an internationally established artist whose awards include the Jerwood Drawing Prize, the John Moores Prize and the John Ruskin Prize. In this episode, she talks about her grandfather’s unusual war experience, how she came late to practising art, how an etching course determined her painting style, how she paints large-scale in watercolour, how and why she became attracted to derelict sites and buildings overrun by nature, and her fascination with Victorian peep-shows and early cinema.
