Slow Art with Dougal McKenzie
Description
Slow Art was created to encourage us all to look at art for a little longer, in the hope that we not only see more, but also get to know the works in greater detail.
Exploring artworks more slowly can help us to form more stories, feelings, and opinions, about the works. Artist and Lecturer Dougal McKenzie will lead you in an exploration of four works from I See His Blood Upon the Rose over 4 weeks, enabling us to look more deeply and to understand the political, social and art historical context in which the work was created.
Featured works from the exhibition include:
- WEEK ONE | 9 January- Rachel Ruysch (1665–1750) - A 'Forest Floor' still life of Flowers 1679–1750
- WEEK TWO | 16 January - Mary Delany
- WEEK THREE | 23 January- Alvero Barrington - Brazil, 2021 Grenada GYR M, 2021 Trinidad RBW M, 2021
- WEEK FOUR | 30 January- Mario Nuzzi - Portrait of a Lady Surrounded by a Garland of Flowers & Linder Sterling Migration of Symbols, 2014
£120 for all four sessions.
