Join art curator Sandra Higgins for an evening of conversation with Marguerite Horner

Marguerite Horner will be talking about her life painting from her earliest years, starting from her first solo exhibitions in her twenties through her years painting as a scenic artist at the BBC, and then painting to commission for editorial work on magazines such as the ‘World of Interiors’ and the ‘Sunday Times’ and also on Advertising campaigns, collaborating with photographers such as Adrian Flowers and David Bailey, before returning to her own fine art practice. Her own paintings aim to investigate, amongst other things, notions of transience, intimacy, loss and hope.

In 2017, Horner won the NOA17 MS Amlin Prize, and in 2018 she won the British Women Artist Award and examples of her work were acquired by the Yale Centre for British Art in New Haven Connecticut, USA. Her work has been acquired by several Art museums in England and also internationally in museums in the USA and China.

Marguerite’s recent paintings, inspired by her artist residency in China, are currently on exhibition in The Drawing Rooms in Bath, and her paintings inspired by the landscape around Bath, are part of the ‘Shades of Green’ exhibition curated by Sandra Higgins at the Royal United Hospital.

Marguerite’s paintings 'lift the ordinary into the extraordinary, and the specific into the universal...they are about the seen and the unseen, the life behind the eye as well as the world in front of it.’ – Lady Marina Vaizey CBE, former Art Critic for the FT and Sunday Times, as well as a Turner Prize Judge.

Tickets include a complimentary cocktail, specially created for the evening and inspired by the work of the artist.
