Dulwich Picture Gallery: Escher

We were invited to film some introductory videos to the latest blockbuster exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery focussing on renowned artist MC Escher. In the first of the four videos, Ian Dejardin, the director of the Gallery, says that most people had an Escher on their wall at university and I was no exception. I can remember collecting Escher books and images in my teens and it was a real treat to see these iconic pieces in person. This exhibition is fantastic and, incredibly, the first for this artist in the UK.

This is the first of four videos examining some key pieces from the exhibition:

Dulwich Picture Gallery: Prud’hon

Earlier this year, we covered the opening of a temporary exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery looking at the little known artist Pierre Paul Prud’hon. This French painter is known for painting Napoleon’s wife Josephine but the exhibition focussed on his drawing, predominantly on blue/grey paper.

These delicate pictures were incredibly beautiful and it was fascinating to hear Dr Xavier Bray and Sorcha Ni Lideadha exploring these unique images.

Dulwich Picture Gallery: Ravilious

This year Dulwich Picture Gallery has a beautiful exhibition of watercolours by British watercolour artist, Eric Ravilious. We were invited to speak to James Russell, the exhibition curator, about the artist, his work and life. You can find out more in the videos we made here:

An incredibly beautiful and popular exhibition it runs until the end of August 2015 with additional linked events and programmes.

Dulwich Picture Gallery: Hockney Printmaker

The Dulwich Picture Gallery opened a new special exhibition this week: Hockney Printmaker and invited us along to the press launch to meet the curator of the exhibition, and Head of Prints and Multiples for Christie’s New York, Richard Lloyd.

We have made a series of five short and digestible videos covering some key elements of this beautifully crafted exhibition. The first video covers one of David Hockney’s earliest print series: The Rake’s Progress, which you can hear more about in this video:

The next four videos will be released throughout the exhibition, which closes on 11 May 2014.
