National Gallery Friday Lates: Ordinary: The Stories We Don’t Tell
To mark Rembrandt’s 420th birthday we have invited artist Siris Hill to the Rembrandt room to share how the Dutch painter inspired his practice. Following the talk, Siris will present works from his series ‘Ordinary’ in the Welcome Space of the Roden Centre for Creative Learning. Siris Hill is a digital painter whose practice centres around challenging assumptions about people living with mental health conditions, and his unique 3D printing technology brings new perspectives to digital art. This event will be over of two parts, with Hill reflecting on his journey and formation as an artist in reference to Rembrandt’s portraiture works - followed by sharing examples from his series ‘Ordinary’ alongside tactile samples of the printing in an interactive showcase of his work. Join us to think about the power of art to introduce us to people, represent lives very different from our own, and change our perspectives.
