(2) Five Questions/Five Art Works Meets Andrew DenmanIn WAJ's Progressive Interview, Susan Fox Asks Painter Denman To Define SuccessWritten By Wildlife Art Journal Staff (Author's Bio) Every few weeks, Wildlife Art Journal features another installment of Five Questions/Five Art Works in which an artist is interviewed and able to show off five works of their own choosing. We call this the art conversation that never ends.
After artists are interviewed, they, in turn, interview another artist and can ask him/her any five questions—so long as they are directly or remotely art related. An added dimension is that the link between artists is intended to transcend countries. (See rules, below)
In our first installment, WAJ editor Todd Wilkinson interviewed Susan Fox who now turns the tables and engages Andrew Denman in a conversation about painting. Denman selected five works and offers explanations of each piece following his interview with Fox.
SUSAN FOX: What inspires you to pick any particular subject for a painting?
ANDREW DENMAN: All of my work begins with an organic experience with an animal subject. I've found that my work is more honest (and far less frustrating) when I enter into that encounter without preconceived notions of what I'd like the animal to do. I look for those moments when an animal does something spontaneous, something that for even the briefest moment exposes its true wild essence. More often that not, that is what inspires a painting. When I hike or take excursions in the wild in hopes of viewing wildlife, it's mostly chance that dictates what I encounter and therefore what I paint; if I'm working from... Additional Article Information:· Article is 3,053 words long (250 are displayed in this preview). Author: Wildlife Art Journal Staff Post Date:August 10th, 2009 'Every few weeks, Wildlife Art Journal will feature another installment of Five Questions/Five Art Works in which an artist is interviewed and able to show off five works of their own choice. After they are interviewed, they, in turn, interview another artist and can ask him/her any five questions of their choosing—so long as they are directly or remotely art related. An added dimension is that after five artists have been featured in a row, the next must reside in a country outside the borders of where the fifth artist lives.
The chain, thus far:
Todd Wilkinson interviewed Susan Fox
Susan Fox interviews Andrew Denman
Next time: Andrew Denman interviews Julie T. Chapman
Five Questions/Five Art Works Allows Artists To Interview Other Artists. It's part of an ongoing conversation.
Ground Rules
1. The contacted artist is asked five questions, any questions related
to art or the artist's life, and in addition to providing the answers,
the interviewee passes along five digital images of her/his artwork for
display at Wildlife Art Journal. Information should include full name
of artist, generally where she/he lives, and how long they've been an
artist
2. The person asking the questions forwards the answers to the
questions and the images along to Wildlife Art Journal. Email: editor@wildlifeartjournal.com
3. The artist who is interviewed then is asked to select another
artist of her/his choice to whom another, different set of five
questions are posed. Again, any questions, as long as they are related
to art and the artist's life), and then, similarly, to point 2, above,
ask the interviewee to provide five digital images of her/his work to
accompany the questions. Once an artist is interviewed, they have to
interview someone else and send the material along to me.
4. This process will be ongoing and we will collect a roster of
artists and their respective country as this grows. One rule is that
after five artists are interviewed from a given country, the next
person selected must hail from a different country. For example, if
five American artists are featured in a row, the fifth person selected
will then pick an artist friend/colleague in another country.
5. Our motivation is to make the questions intriguing and to allow
participating artists who show off their art to a wide audience, while
hopefully enabling readers to learn something along the way.
