Thomas Broadbent
Host Daniel Durning and artist Thomas Broadbent talk about painting and Broadbent’s large-scale watercolor on display at the Front Room Gallery in an exhibition entitled Adaption (May-June 2014). The discussion focuses on the process of painting and the motivations behind Broadbent’s work. Broadbent's large-scale watercolors have an absurdity to them that borders on the surreal; they are plausible scenarios, but the unlikely combination of elements, objects, and animals are simultaneously otherworldly and common. Recorded in the gallery, June 03, 2014.
