Ep. 5 Richie Culver

Richie Culver - No one knows me like Dawn from the Jobcentre ©-Patrick-Mateer - Art Proof Podcast

This time round we’re joined by artists Richie Culver. We visited Richie in his studio in West London earlier this year and had a really interesting, fun and at times intimate chat about his life and practice and how he got to where he is today.

We cover a lot of stuff in the conversation from addiction, being a self taught artists and parenthood to Bruce Lee, pigeon fancying, mumble rap and caravans.

We also delve into Richie’s past: growing up in Hull, living in Ibiza as a young raver and his time making art from newspapers he found in a New York crack house.

We really enjoyed this one and there’s a bit of a rolling start so bare with it as it takes a minute or so to really kick in – I just really didn’t want to cut any out.

Culver (1979) lives and works in London. He has previously exhibited at Sunday-S Gallery, Copenhagen; Annka Kultys Gallery, London; The Bomb Factory Art Foundation, London; Lehmann + Silva, Porto; Nuart Gallery, Stavanger; Saatchi Gallery, London amongst others.
