In this episode, we meet the mysterious British artist Mason Storm at an opening in Basel, hosted by our partner Galerie Gleis4. The evening itself was remarkable—but Mason sold every single piece of art he brought with him, making the event unforgettable.

As always, he appeared masked, blurring the line between artist and artwork, between myth and reality. We discuss the ongoing media frenzy surrounding his controversial work "Saint or Sinner," the outrage it sparked among Bishop Glettler in German-speaking countries, and why the debate is still relevant today. We also discuss when Mason began painting, his unique relationship with Banksy, and—with a wink—whether he might have also collaborated with Maurizio Cattelan.

A provocative, mysterious, and entertaining conversation in English with an artist who refuses to be just one thing: he is both the creator and the creation.
