Ben Luke is an art journalist whose voice reaches a wide audience through his successful podcast A Brush With, where each episode is dedicated to an artist interview.
His new book stems from it.
Ben Luke, What is art for? Contemporary artists on their inspirations, influences and disciplines (2025, Heni) https://heni.com/shop/books/what-is-art-for
The scope of his questions is aimed toward building a good perspective on what artists look at, listen to, and where they draw their energy, inspiration and creative flow from. We discuss pop music and visual art crossover in the 80s and the boisterous 90s whose suppressed history Luke knows and shares brilliantly.
