Idea To Value - Creativity And Innovation

In today's episode of the Idea to Value Podcast, we speak with Stuart Semple, a visual artist based in Dorset, England and also one of the people in the centre of a recent controversy within the artistic world. What follows is an interesting story about how one of the world's most famous artists Anish Kapoor was given the exclusive rights to produce art using the "blackest black" pigment ever produced, called Vantablack (which I have written about previously here: https://www.ideatovalue.com/curi/nickskillicorn/2016/07/new-blackest-material-world-absorbing-99-965-light/). Stuart is leading the fight back, saying it is bad news for all other artists to be prevented from expressing themselves using this new medium, and has also worked to make extreme colours available to everyone with his "pinkest pink" paint (except for Mr Kapoor though). Topics covered in this episode: * Stuart's history and current art projects (01:00) * The controversy behind Vantablack and how the artistic community was excluded (02:30) *
