Making Wrong Art!
Hey, I’m Barrie J Davies — Brighton-based street pop surrealism artist, accidental paint assassin, professional nonsense generator, and full-time goblin operating system disguised as a human being… and welcome to my podcast.
This is a daily podcast — which sounds incredibly organised for someone who once lost a coffee mug under a pile of canvases for three weeks and briefly assumed it had “gone freelance.”
But don’t panic. This isn’t one of those painfully serious art podcasts where someone whispers “the triangle represents grief” over ambient whale noises for two and a half hours.
These are short bursts of colourful chaos.Tiny audio goblins.Little sonic panic attacks covered in neon paint.
It’s basically me recording whatever weird thought crash-landed in my brain before it causes property damage.
One minute I’m talking about a new print.The next I’m wondering why pigeons walk like middle managers who’ve just remembered they left the oven on.
There are usually no guests either.Mainly because this feels less like a podcast and more like you accidentally answered a voicemail from a sleep-deprived Brighton artist who’s inhaled too much spray paint and now believes traffic cones are judging him.
The studio currently looks like a children’s TV channel got into a bar fight with a graffiti tunnel.There’s neon everywhere.Paint on objects that should never legally contain paint.Half-finished canvases staring at me like disappointed teachers.Stencils.Ink.Pop art madness.Glitter appearing in rooms it has never physically entered.
Honestly, there’s so much paint flying around that even Jackson Pollock would walk in, quietly say “mate… calm down,” and slowly back out through the fire exit.
This podcast is basically the behind-the-scenes soundtrack to making loud street pop art while surviving entirely on caffeine, bad ideas, and the kind of confidence usually found in men trying to assemble garden furniture without instructions.
Because it’s daily and wildly unpredictable, literally anything can happen.
One episode might be about a fresh artwork that looks like it’s been dipped in radioactive candy floss and screamed at by a comic book.
Another might just be me spending twelve minutes trying to work out whether staring at a dripping paintbrush counts as productivity.(For legal reasons: yes. It’s called creative research.)
This is NOT a serious art podcast.
There are no quiet gallery voices.Nobody says “juxtaposition” fourteen times while holding a tiny glass of wine.No one’s analysing “the emotional tension of negative space” like they’re decoding ancient scripture.
Sometimes art just means I drank too much coffee at 9am and aggressively launched neon pink at a canvas until something spiritually confusing appeared.
This podcast is graffiti-splattered pop art chaos in audio form.Imagine a rollercoaster made from spray cans, seaside sugar, caffeine, glitter, poor decision-making, and one suspiciously warm energy drink found in a backpack.
Messy? Absolutely.Slightly dangerous? Probably.Mentally supervised? Not even close.A good time? Without question.
So go on.Jump into the chaos before I accidentally get banned from another art shop.
