Curator's Pick for LGBT+ History Month: An Eligible Spinster - With Sadie Lee
Image
Free, booking recommended.
This month’s Curator’s Pick for LGBT+ History Month is with special guest and award-winning figurative artist Sadie Lee, as she takes a look back at one of her early paintings in oils - ‘An Eligible Spinster’.
Known for her challenging paintings that focus on a range of subjects, including the representation of women in art, sexuality, gender and the ageing body, Sadie will be guiding us through the symbolism and meanings of this self-portrait.
Displayed amongst Bruce Castle Museum’s collection of portraits of women by artist Beatrice Offor (1864-1920), Sadie will draw on connections and comparisons of her own painting with those by Beatrice, one of the first women who attended the Slade School of Art in the 19th century.
Please book your free place for this in-person talk via Eventbrite.
