Art As A Catalyst for Change with Peter Kennard

Extraordinary Creatives ·

2025/08/18

Peter Kennard is one of the most uncompromising, clear eyed political artists of our time, a pioneer of photomontage. His work rips through the surface of state power, war, capitalism and environmental destruction, and lays bare what those systems try to obscure - the human cost. Peter has created fiercely political images that have travelled far beyond the gallery wall, into newspapers, onto placards, pasted on street corners and burned into the minds of generations.His work for the Campaign for

The Case For Ugly, Challenging, Unsellable Art

Extraordinary Creatives ·

2025/08/07

Many artists feel their work is too dark, too ugly or challenging to sell. As someone who has sold paintings of infamous murderers, photographs of a drag queen dressed up as Van Gogh, missing ear and all, a portrait of a man mid ugly cry, a drawing made from fake tan and a sculpture of a dying lamp post with a flickering light, Ceri politely calls bulls**t on that belief. KEY TAKEAWAYS Artists are often the worst judges of their own saleability. If you've softened, reshaped or avoided making

Have you ever walked into a gallery opening, heart pounding, and thought, “What am I doing here? Everyone else looks like they belong”. You're not alone.
