The Singh Twins

In this podcast Peta and Tan get to chat in the Art Room with the phenomenal Singh Twins! 
Grayson Perry said of the twins, whose work he admires: 'They combine traditions from both Eastern and Western art to make provocative and sharply political work."  and Simon Schama named them as "The artistic face of Britain."  
The Singh twins are British artists of Sikh heritage born in Richmond Surrey and raised in the Liverpool area. They are now international contemporary British artists whose award winning work is influenced by Indian miniature paintings and deals with British contemporary culture as well as topics such as globalisation colonial history and migration. 
The Singh twins have received many awards and official recognition for their work most notably they were made honorary citizens of Liverpool, in 2009 received an MBE from the queen in 2011 and later were awarded honorary doctorates. 
As well as  painting, the  twins are also published illustrators, writers, film makers and designers and they've exhibited globally. The sisters work is always credited to the Singh twins even if the sisters have worked alone on a piece. 
 We are very excited today to welcome the Singh twins to the Art Room!

Peta and Tan interview the prolific Gisela Torres. Gisela was born and studied in New York City, USA but has lived in the UK since 1999. An artist, editorial photographer and creative director, she has been commissioned by a spectacular list of glossy publications and global companies with household names as well as photographing and working with stream of superstars such as John Malkovich and Naomi Campbell. 
Recently she's been pursuing a more fine art approach to her work and further developing her excellent story-telling skills.
As a lecturer and workshop leader for London's foremost galleries and charity organisations she is clearly very busy and much in demand, but was happy to take some time out to chat to her old friends and colleagues.

In this episode Tan and Pete chat with David Gwinnutt a photographer, artist and designer like no other.
He arrived in London from Derbyshire in the late 1970s, immersing himself in the clubbing and gay scene, taking exciting pictures with his infamous white camera.
David's first major solo exhibition was in 2000 and his photographs have been featured in a broad range of formidable publications: The Independent, The New Yorker, The Face and The Tatler among them.
In 2006, he designed the Pink Jack, earning him a place at number 16 on The Independent's list of '100 Most Influential Gay People'.
More recently, he has exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery, designed a flag for the Football Supporters' Association and continues to produce exceptional photographic images at a time when it seems anyone with a phone camera and Instagram account might be considered a photographer.
