Mr. Turner Panel Discussion

Screening of film followed by panel discussion at The Gate Picturehouse, Notting Hill

Join us for an exclusive screening of Mike Leigh’s Cannes award-winning film, Mr. Turner this Autumn, a portrait of the artist Joseph M. W. Turner played by the luminous Timothy Spall. The film charts the last 25 years of Turner’s life as his work developed into the powerful, atmospheric imagery which came to define him as an artist.

The Gate, Notting Hill, hosts a panel discussion curated by West London’s Griffin Gallery between a group of experts in painting, materials and Turner himself, offering audiences a unique insight into the process and precision of Turner’s work, and a glimpse into the development of this award-winning film.

Panelists include:

• Rebecca Byrne, Griffin Gallery
• Paul Robinson, Winsor & Newton  www.winsornewton.com
• Tim Wright, painting consultant and tutor to Timothy Spall: Tim worked with Spall over the course of the film’s production, educating him in the history of art and authentic technical virtuosity that earned him a Best Actor award at Cannes this year. Tim Wright is an experienced artist who has exhibited extensively throughout the UK and at The National Portrait Gallery. www.timjwright.com/
