Join ArtReview and Ursula on Tuesday 7 July for a conversation about Phyllida Barlow with her family and curators Simon Oldfield and Clare Lilley

\n\n\n\n

ArtReview and Ursula magazine have teamed up to host a series of monthly talks in the Wine Bar underneath the Farm Shop in London’s Mayfair. Staged as a series of intimate conversations and more, set in a relaxed and casual bar, the series will allow audiences an insight into the inspirations, working methods and passions of some of today’s key visionaries from artists and thinkers, to filmmakers, designers, philosophers and architects. The events will span creative thinking and how it evolves to match our times. The series is a celebration of traditional conviviality, to be experienced live by those present rather than remotely, on screen. The talk will take place in the restaurant, where food and drink can be ordered throughout the evening.

\n\n\n\n

Time: 6.15pm welcome drink, 7pm event start

\n\n\n\n

Ticketed event: £14, which includes a welcome drink and copies of ArtReview and Ursula magazine

About Simon Oldfield
Artistic Director for Wolterton Arts & Culture and Founder of Simon Oldfield & Associates, Oldfield uniquely blends curatorial, art advisory and legal expertise. He has curated various exhibitions, including an early solo presentation of paintings by Michael Armitage and ‘Sea State,’ featuring Maggi Hambling and Ro Robertson.

His debut book, A Short Affair (2018), was published by Simon & Schuster in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Arts. A frequent commentator and contributor, Oldfield’s opinion on curation and the wider art market are regularly published and broadcast. He has served on judging panels for awards such as the Sunday Times Watercolor Competition and Jerwood Drawing Prize, provided expertise to a House of Lords’ cross-party Parliamentary enquiry on the creative industries and sits on the Philanthropy Board of Art UK.

\n\n\n\n

About Clare Lilley

About Fabian Peake
Artist Fabian Peake studied painting at the Chelsea College of Art and the Royal College of Art in London, UK. As a student he met his wife, artist Phyllida Barlow, with whom he has five children. While continuing to paint, his work has diversified during the past 10 years and incorporates tailored wall pieces, cut-outs, photography, drawing, writing and poetry.

\n\n\n\n

Peake taught painting as a Senior Lecturer in the Fine Art Department at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. He has had many solo and group exhibitions in the UK, Europe, United States and South America. Peake collaborates with his daughters, Clover Peake and Tabitha Powles, to manage the Phyllida Barlow Estate.

\n\n\n\n

About Tabitha Powles
Tabitha Powles is a former nurse with over 25 years’ experience. As an artist, her work draws directly from her clinical experience. She used her experience as a nurse as her subject matter, painting scenes from memory, including her time working as a COVID-19 nurse. The result is a body of work grounded in observation and lived experience.

\n\n\n\n

Alongside her sister and father, Powles now manages the Phyllida Barlow Estate, a role the three of them stepped into following her mother’s death in 2023. She now brings the same practical focus to the Estate that shaped her nursing and artistic career.

\n\n\n\n

About Clover Peake
Clover Peake is a poet and artist from London, UK who studied Classical History and Ancient Languages. Peake’s work spans poetry, short stories and solo collections. Her work has also appeared in several anthologies. Peake is currently editing her latest collection, which reflects on mourning and the natural world. Through the interplay of text, textiles and visual work, Peake takes notice of the hidden, considering how language and repetitive processes, such as stitching, can serve as conduits between the inner and outer worlds.

\n\n\n\n

Along with her sister and father, Peake manages the Phyllida Barlow Estate.
