About this episode

In this episode of the brave Projects Podcast, Victoria Comstock-Kershaw speaks with artist and educator Peter Davies about London's evolving art scene, the legacy of the YBAs, and the communities shaping contemporary painting today. Drawing on his experiences as both a painter and tutor at the Slade School of Fine Art, Davies reflects on artist-led spaces, emerging galleries, the renewed prominence of painting, and the importance of fostering possibility, generosity and experimentation within the arts. The conversation also explores Davies' own practice, his recent curatorial work at The Approach, and why he remains optimistic about the future of art in London.
