Simon Ling in conversation with William Feaver
Join us for an in-conversation between artist Simon Ling and artist and critic William Feaver in the 4th Floor Studios at Shoreditch as part of our Summer Term Lecture Series
Simon Ling (born 1968) makes paintings either in the open air, where his subject matter is found in nondescript urban or rural landscapes where nature and the artificial meet, or in the studio where he fabricates elaborate tableaux. Rather than reflect traditional qualities of direct observation, Ling emphasises not just what an object looks like or what its material qualities might be, but the experience it engenders – his ambition being to create an emotional equivalence to material form.
