‘It was absolutely terrifying’: Thom Yorke on his long journey back to becoming a visual artist

Thom Yorke, the Radiohead frontman, reflects on his journey back to visual art in an exclusive interview with The Art Newspaper. Having left art school in the late 1980s, Yorke felt resistant to calling himself a visual artist, a discomfort compounded by his music career. He and his bandmate Stanley Donwood, whom he met at Exeter University, are now opening their first institutional exhibition, "This is What You Get," at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. The show spans 30 years of record covers, sketchbooks, and recent paintings, marking a significant return to Yorke's artistic roots.
