At the Thames Art Gallery join us for conversational talks and tours throughout the evening. TAG’s Gallery Curator Phil Vanderwall invites you to experience What Lays Beneath: A Retrospective of Works by Leonard Jubenville, From the first, thin layer of glazed oil paint to the last, Leonard Jubenville has built a celebrated career by taking us just beyond the surface of the seen. Whether Jubenville turns his eye to the common objects of daily life, the picturesque expanse of the landscape, or its steady evolution into the Anthropocene, there is something equally beautiful and unsettling uncanny about his vision.
