🎙️ What’s This Episode About?
Gary Harper is a contemporary artist whose work hits harder than most – abstract, emotional, and unapologetically honest. Known for his landscapes and visual storytelling, Gary brings mental health, queerness and working-class identity into all he does.
In this episode, Gary joins John for a conversation that’s equal parts art school, therapy session and Scouse defiance. They talk about turning trauma into texture, the limits of representation, and why he refuses to make art that’s just ‘nice’. Gary shares how painting became a survival tool - and why vulnerability, especially as a queer person, can be the most radical thing of all.
