Another great night at The National Gallery. Very proud of Mia Hale McLeod and Cerys McVea, who I’ve worked with at Kingston Uni for the full term of their degree (and they’re about to graduate) who brought their families along. Brilliant to watch Damian Le Bas work again, he’s extraordinary. And such a special connection I’ve developed with Fiona Alderton over these past four years, culminating in her chopping some of my hair off here. I read on Rubens, twisting Samson and Delilah a bit, and Jordaens, for his stare heavy Holy Family portrait. Nice crowd too, supportive and engaged as ever. One of the best things I’ve ever done this series. More to be found at https://www.stevenjfowler.com/nationalgallery
