Organised by The House of St Barnabas
Join 2B or Not 2B Life Drawing on the 28th of November for a life drawing session themed around Yoshitomo Nara.
About this event
We're super excited to announce our collab between ESEA Life Drawing and 2B Or Not 2B Collective, theming the session on the playful works of Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara.
"Yoshitomo Nara is a pioneering figure in contemporary art whose signature style—which expresses children in a range of emotional complexities from resistance and rebellion to quietude and contemplation—celebrates the introspective freedom of the imagination and the individual.
Nara’s work spans painting, drawing, photography, large-scale installations, and sculpture in ceramic, bronze, and fiber-reinforced plastic. Influenced by popular music, memories of childhood, and current events, he filters these references through an exploratory realm of feelings, loneliness and rebelliousness especially, which span autobiographical as well as broader cultural sensibilities." - Pace Gallery
Please note member tickets are only open to House of St Barnabas Members.
