Conversations En Plein Air with Carly Le Cerf and Johnny K
What does it really mean to take your painting practice outside? In this episode I’m joined again by Australian artists Johnny K and Carly Le Cerf to talk about the realities of working en plein air - from capturing a horizon line to the challenge of painting in wind, snow, or heat.We talk about:How working outdoors shapes their recent projectsThe difference between gathering research in the field and resolving a work back in the studioThe role of memory, scent, and even sound in building a connection to placeThe physical demands of painting outsideThe value of working alongside another artist and how those conversations push their practiceHow being in new environments diversifies their workThis is a wide-ranging chat about the ways we carry the outside world into our work.You can find Caly Le Cerf’s work here through Michael Reid Gallery and on instagram hereYou can find my previous chat with Carly hereYou can find Johnny K’s website here and his instagram hereYou can find my previous episode with Johnny here and hereMentioned in the podcast:Read more about One Thousand Kilometers of Hope hereSee Johnny K’s works with Day Gallery Blackheath hereJulz Beresford at Michael Reid Amanda Penrose Heart at King Street GalleryArchibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes 2025John R Walker at Utopia Gallery at Sydney ContemporaryJason Cordero at Lennox St Gallery You can find the podcast here Hosted on Acast.
