🌸 Artist Talk: Margriet Smulders in conversation with Dr Susan Bright
📍Online

Join celebrated Dutch artist Magriet Smulders and curator Dr Susan Bright for a compelling conversation on beauty, memory and the emotional layers behind Smulders’ vivid floral still lifes.

Rooted in personal history and shaped by a childhood marked by both opulence and upheaval, Smulders’ work captures the tension between joy and loss, chaos and calm. This talk coincides with her presentation with Contour Gallery in Discovery at Photo London 2025, booth D15.

I have been a rebellious admirer of Rococo since I was born and wanted to touch my smiling mother's curly hair: “The aesthetic of the Rococo feels very familiar to me, and there are lots of things that I, as a woman and also as a girl growing up, interacted with which seem to have a Rococo sensibility to them,” Read this article on artnet
