Christabel Blackburn - In Conversation

British artist Christabel Blackburn won Sky Art's Portrait Artist of the Year earlier in 2020 with her minimal and stripped back contemporary portraiture style. Christabel's compositions typically include flat planes of colour, architectural aspects, simplistic interiors with limited details balancing of context, reduction and intimacy.

In the podcast, she discusses her journey as an artist and her recent experience painting music legend Nile Rodgers, founder of the 70s band Chic, which now hangs in the Royal Albert Hall in London.

A must watch is the brilliant final of Sky Art's Portrait of the Year, which was an incredible event, filmed in the National Portrait Gallery in London.

We are delighted that Christabel Blackburn has recently joined the Nordic Art Agency and we will exhibit three of her works in our exhibition FACES//PLACES which opens on Friday, October 9th in our Malmö gallery.
