    In today's episode, Maeve speaks to multi-disciplinary artist Hormazd Nariewalla. This is an invigorating conversation that takes place at the home of the permanent collection of his work, JP Hackett on Savile Row. Born in India, Nariewalla's work is a mix of collage, print-making and sculpture which originate on the surfaces of antique, vintage, and bespoke tailoring patterns. For this year's Art In Mayfair, Hormazd has extended his residency at Hackett’s Savile Row and has filled the atelier with colourful homages to tailoring. In this conversation we hear about his strong work ethic, the spiritual connection between clothes and their wearers, and the powerful advice given to him by Sir Paul Smith.

    Today, Maeve speaks to sculptor Pieter Obels. Despite working with Corten steel, Pieter's work seem light and gravity defying. His contribution to this year's Sculpture Trail, titled 'How Soon Is Now' and presented by Opera Gallery, barely seems to touch the ground while it's striking orange hues are set perfectly against the green backdrop of Berkeley Square. In this episode we hear about Pieter's working practice, his inspirations as an artist, and the joy and playfulness that public art can bring.

    The Art in Mayfair podcast returns for 2024 and in this episode Maeve Doyle speaks to Gavin Turk. Gavin’s sculpture, Figure - a two meter recreation of a rusty nail made of bronze - can be found on this year’s trail, pinned into the pavement on the corner of New Bond Street. In this conversation, Gavin talks us through the nostalgia embedded in Figure, and the humour found in all of his work. And after listening to him speak you’ll understand why his contributions to Art in Mayfair are so essential.
