In this week's show, Steven talks to Remi Rough, a street and gallery artist from South London who began in the 1980s, before making the move to gallery art. Remi's most famous works are his abstracts which have been exhibited in Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, Paris, Perth, and Tokyo.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Graffiti art was the first form of social media. It allowed messages and ideas to be exchanged in a public forum, and still does.
Graffiti art and street art are often held up as the same thing, but the fundamental difference is that they both speak very different languages.
Street art is for everyone. Graffiti is coded for other artists. Street art is art with inbuilt codes, and meant to be appreciated by anyone with a taste for the visual.
The real rewards in art come from people appreciating what you do. Art can be collaborative, but it is generally a lonely form of expression. Putting out into the world provides validation.
BEST MOMENTS
'Graffiti art was the first social media'
'Street art is a visual language but it's not coded'
'I'm in the business of art'
'When someone appreciates something, it gives you an incentive to continue'

ABOUT THE HOST
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.
As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.
My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
