April 30 · Artist Talk: Margriet Smulders in conversation with Dr Susan Bright
🌸 Artist Talk: Margriet Smulders & Dr Susan Bright
📍 Online recording available
As part of my presentation by Contour Gallery at Photo London 2025, I had the pleasure of speaking with curator Dr. Susan Bright about beauty, memory, and the emotional layers in my floral still lifes.The interview happend while in Ireland for an artist residency.
I like to share this interview because in a short time it gives a beautiful overview of my career.
Susan asked wonderful questions — especially towards the end. We spoke about Rococo, Fragonard, and the cloud swing in my studio.
The audience joined in with thoughtful questions about my mirror, my “wildness,” our garden, and my role as a woman, a mother, and now.
It doesn’t feel entirely comfortable to see my blushing face again — yet I feel vulnerable and proud at the same time.
