John Lurie discusses his views on Painting with John
In an interview with The Playlist podcast network, John Lurie talked about how his show came to be and elaborated on his experience while working on the same. The musician said that he never intended for the show to happen in the first place, he explained:
“I didn’t pitch it — that was the nice thing about it. My TV shows; they were both accidents. I didn’t really want somebody filming me painting, but I was doing this technique, and we started teasing each other, and it was funny, so [Lurie’s longtime assistant and now collaborator Nesrin Wolf] wanted to put them on Instagram… And then Adam [McKay] said, ‘Do you mind if I send this to HBO?’ And everybody knows who Adam McKay is, but I didn’t know. Can I trust this guy? Who is he?"
The artist further continued and elaborated on how the idea for Painting with John came into existence
"I had always been painting but not seriously, and then I got sick and was stuck at home and was just painting for no reason at all, and I started to get better and better and then was like, ‘Oh! Painting could be what music was.’ And that took about a year before that happened.”
Painting with John is set to premiere on Friday, June 2, 2023, at 11 pm ET exclusively on HBO.
