ENGLISH VIA ART

Today #viaMusic is brought to you by Valery Chtak to note the fact that his installation at CCI Fabrika is on show for the last few days. ‘It is easy to recognize his work, it’s conceptual, monochrome with witty and odd phrases written in different languages. “Everything is gray, there are some random letters...you cannot understand anything but it's funny,” is how Chtak himself describes them. Many people think he was initially a graffiti artist, so he starts by giving a warning shot that he has nothing to do with street art.’ By following each song’s link you will be able to choose your preferable player🎵🎧 Frank Zappa - Son of Mr. Green Genes Black Sabbath - The Wizard Can - Oh Yeah The Beatles - It's Only Love Melvins - Boris + as a bonus - a recording of a concert of Valery’s own band called Shthow’s Seths held in Voznesensky Center this September

A weekly newsletter of home and interior inspiration, delivered to your inbox:

Pauline Caulfield’s home and studio has long been an artist’s haven. Before she and her ex-husband, the late painter and printmaker Patrick Caulfield, began renting their red-brick cottage in north London nearly 50 years ago, it belonged to, among others, the book illustrator Arthur Rackham, the abstract artist John Hoyland and the Pre-Raphaelite painter John William Waterhouse. It was already a place of creative legacy – and now it’s one that Pauline has become a part of. Much like her large-scale hand-printed wall hangings, Pauline’s interiors are full of pattern, personality and punchy tones aplenty – as we discover for our new episode of Seven Wonders.
