Talk - Robert Lenkiewicz: The Tonal Approach to Painting

  • Plymouth Proprietary Library Saint Barnabas Terrace Plymouth, England, PL1 5NN United Kingdom (map)

"Robert Lenkiewicz (1941-2002) worked within 'Projects': large-scale exhibitions of paintings and research notes related to sociological issues.

His themes - vagrancy, mental handicap, old age, suicide, death - sought to illuminate the lives of those he called "the invisible people". [The Lenkiewicz Foundation].

This talk, by painter Louise Courtnell, describes how she met this south-west artist in 1987, her painting lessons and how they affected her work since then. She is a painter today because of him - this self portrait of Louise from 2019 shows Robert's tonal approach to painting.

£5 for members. £8 for non-members.
