Event details

Author, curator and lecturer Ghislaine Kenyon explores the extraordinary work of Quentin Blake, with whom she has collaborated on ground-breaking exhibitions such as ‘Tell me a Picture’ at the National Gallery, and several hospital-based projects. Ghislaine‘s illustrated talk offers a new view of an artist who is so much more than Roald Dahl’s illustrator.

Alongside much-loved images from books such as The BFG and Zagazoo, Ghislaine discusses drawings made for hospitals, theatres, building wraps, as well as other more private settings. Join us for a unique insight into Blake’s working and studio practice and to explore the effects his work has had on audiences of all ages.
