Together with the Chao Lee Art Foundation, Asia Society Hong Kong Center is pleased to present an artist’s talk by British portrait artist, Benjamin Sullivan. Based in Suffolk, UK, Sullivan is a BP National Portrait Gallery award winner whose oeuvre includes commissioned portraits of distinguished subjects; scientists, writers and academics to Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Celebrated for his sensitive, closely observed depictions, he blends classical technique with a distinctly modern eye to reveal not just how people look, but who they are. Sullivan will share insights into his practice as a portrait painter with a presentation of significant works throughout his career including the seminal paintings; All Souls College and HM Queen Elizabeth II.
The Q&A session will be moderated by London-based curator Monica Chung.
