There’s a very nice piece from Art Car Boot Fair curator Karen Ashton that takes in some of the Organ history as well as some Cultivate, it went up on the Art Car Boor Fair website yesterday ahead of May’s Flora and Fauna adition of said fair. Read the whole piece here – CULTIVATING GOODWILL IN THE ART WORLD

There’s an interview conducted via e.mail in April 2021 with Italian publication Art and Investments, mostly about Cultivate, a little bit about my background as well (and I might have lost an L again and I don’t know where they found some of those videos from? who on earth is Sean Warnell?). A big thanks to Alessio Musella for taking the time to do it.

The March edition of Artists Responding To magazine is out (March 2021), there’s a couple of the recent stars and stripes paintings featured. More details here including order details for issue 7, the issue featuring the paintings.

There’s a piece celebrating 40 years of the Art Foundation course in Bangor, that includes a contribution from me. Bangor was excellent, it obviously still is.

TOTALLY LONDON – “Meet Sean Worrall an artist who leaves his paintings on the street to be taken for free…” – There’s a full-bodied interview (done in March 2018) over on a German website dedicated to London called Totally London on the subject of the 2018 art drops as well as East London street art and living in London and well, have a read, it might explain a few things,,,

SHOREDITCH STREET ART TOUR (July 2017) – A piece on some of the recent #43ArtDrop pieces found, “Artist Sean Worrall is renown for his generous distribution of free art in various parts of London and indeed occasionally even further afield…It is a wonderfully beautiful gesture by Sean Worrall to place these free pieces art out on the street to await their fate and we are delighted to report that this cluster of four have all gone to very appreciative homes…”  Great to see the photos of people finding the pieces, I tend to leave and so I don’t get to see…

East End Review
East End Review

Nice piece on the website of the East London arts newspaper East End Review today (23rd Sept 2015) – “Artist plans to leave 365 paintings on the streets during a year” reads the headline… “Public encouraged to spot, take home and tweet about paintings as part of guerilla art project” so reports Russell Parton  “For painter Sean Worrall, the streets are the biggest gallery space of them all”. “Each artwork is hung on the street in a carefully chosen location and labelled with the hashtag #365ArtDrops. Those who take the paintings are encouraged to use social media to document the project as it evolves.

Some audio of a radio interview done by the news Agent on an April Saturday afternoon (2015) at London arts radio station Resonance 104.4fm

if you missed it  when it went out live, the News Agents interview where I was a guest talking about Cultivate, the London art scene, the beauty of Huge Baby, running a record label, painting leaves (that some may see in other ways), art drops, affordable art, exclamations, artists being proactive and doing it themselves, Peter Predergast and more, is now up on line to listen to in your own time should you wish to.. big thanks to the News Agents, to Rebecca and Resonance for putting up with me for an hour, it was a pleasure.
