Step into an artist’s studio with this film screening and in-conversation

Artist John Singer Sargent’s unique approach to portraiture included a collaborative relationship with his sitters, creative direction, use of studio props and accessories, and daring sartorial choices.

Sargent’s practice provides the backdrop for this exploration of contemporary portraiture. Through a filmed studio visit with artist Shaqúelle Whyte and live in-conversation, chaired by art historian Alayo Akinkugbe (A Black History of Art), this event will consider topics such as: the relationship between artist and sitter; the theatricality of portraiture; and the dynamics of studio life.
