Guest editor of the “Artistry” issue, out today, is art advisor and curator Viola Raikhel, who draws together a collection of compelling stories that delve into the creative process and examine what it means to be an artist today.
In Portrait of the Artist, this month’s cover story (page 66), she chats to Hollywood actor Pierce Brosnan about his other passion: painting. Victoria Pearson wrote the story which includes photographs by Greg Gorman.
In The Prodigy, Lance Richardson finds out more about the artist Andres Valencia, who is selling out shows and drawing comparisons to Picasso – at the age of 12.
Elsewhere in the issue, Craig Tansley takes readers on a walking, driving and dining tour of Palm Springs, California, a desert playground for some of America’s most celebrated actors and artists. And we take a peek at actor Josh Brolin’s home in Malibu, California as he writes his forthcoming memoir (page 42).
In terms of culinary arts, the writer Fred Siggins speaks to inventive distillers who are carving out a hugely successful niche with their wine-and-gin fusions (page 46) and we examine another appetising artform – meticulously decorated fondant-topped cakes (page 80).
