Seeing Ways
Artist Chris Orr in conversation with Richard DaveyThursday 14 May
Sketchbooks offer a fascinating insight into an artist’s working practice. More than a finished work, they can reveal the disparate ways an artist translates what they see or imagine into a visual language where a grammar of marks and colours stand for movement, time, space and physical presence.Join the writer Dr Richard Davey and the artist Chris Orr RA, in a conversation that will explore this visual language and discuss how Chris’s use of it in his drawings and prints brings insights and meanings that expand and contribute to his distinctive narratives.Dr Richard Davey is a Senior Research Fellow in Historical and Critical studies at Nottingham School of Art and Design. He is an internationally published author on art, having contributed to catalogues on Anselm Kiefer and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and written books on Tess Jaray RA, Anthony Whishaw RA and Leonard McComb RA.
