It’s fanboy time again. You get to see me barely contain my excitement as I speak to a hero of mine, the incredible artist Stuart Semple. I ask some tough questions about art and color. Strike that: none of the questions are tough, but the answers are wonderful.

Stuart Semple is a multidisciplinary British artist who works in painting, sculpture, happenings, technology, and activism. He is well known for his sociologically engaged works, which often discuss youth politics, accessibility, and democracy.

Listen to Stuart and I discuss creation, emotion, performance art, and color.
