We are starting the new year with a special session. We’ll be filmed by ITV to gather footage to be used for a documentary about the early years of René Magritte. We’ll be doing our session as normal and the film crew will be filming from behind us and perhaps get some close ups of our hands while we are drawing. But they will focus more on the model whom has agreed to be filmed.
This is happening this Tuesday 7th of January, everyone is welcome and we’ll be in the club space, as usual, from 7-9pm. Come earlier to start at 7 on the dot.
To refresh our memory, René Magritte is an incredible Belgian surrealist painter famous for the use of the art technique Trompe-l’œil or deceive the eye. His work challenges observers’ preconditioned perceptions of reality.
Here are some of his paintings. Njoy!
