Three artists in their prime talk to The Art Show...CJ Hendry specialises in hyper-real paintings, but she’s just as comfortable with the art of the spectacle as she is creating the art itself - her recent showcase exhibition in NY got shut down because it drew too many people.Fellow expat Ricky Swallow has been taking LA by storm with his striking bronze sculptures, but is returning home for his first foray into public art.And Sydney-based Pasifika artist Latai Taumoepeau's monumental work is a vital call to action on climate change. 

Nell, who has a major retrospective at Heide Museum, speaks to Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran about ghost motifs, smiling poop, and how collaborative projects have changed her perspective on art.The Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson speaks to Rosa Ellen about a project he undertook to document the glaciers and glacial rivers of Iceland over two decades. You can see Presence, a major collection of his work, at GOMA in Brisbane. And Mike Hewson explains how he came to create playgrounds, saunas and barbecues as part of his art practice and how he become comfortable with the public clambering all over his work.
