'I introduce what one might call the theme, the form or the colours, and then their opposite. Then I return to what I've introduced and develop it a little. Then I return to the opposing thing and develop that considerably. Last of all, I close with a return, a reminder of what you have seen or what you have heard.'

BRIDGET RILEY

The National Gallery is launching Artists’ Artists, a podcast series connecting audiences with works from the national collection through the lens of contemporary artists Julie Rrap, Danie Mellor, Bridget Riley, Janet Laurence and Albert Yonathan Setyawan.

The five-part series invites audiences to learn more about some of the treasures and lesser-known works in the national collection, as well as gain insight into the personal life experiences and stories of Australian and international artists.

Artists’ Artists is hosted by Australian novelist, screenwriter, art critic and former editor of the London-based arts magazine, Frieze, Jennifer Higgie. Higgie's recent books include The Other Side: A Journey into Women, Art and the Spirit World and The Mirror and the Palette: 500 Years of Women's Self Portraits. She is also the presenter of Bow Down, a podcast about women in art history, and the editor of National Gallery publication The Annual.

Artists’ Artists is available to stream now. Subscribe via your favourite podcast app or listen online.
