Art Lab with Shanti Shea An

Art Labs is a series of artist-led workshops connecting young audiences with artists, artmaking and the National Gallery’s collection.
In this Art Lab, join artist Shanti Shea An to create drawings and paintings that play with colour, surface, and form in response to the exhibition Cézanne to Giacometti.
Using still life arrangements as a starting point, learn how modernist artists translate the three-dimensional world onto a two-dimensional surface as you experiment with different approaches to composition and abstraction.
Cezanne to Giacometti: Highlights from Museum Berggruen/Neue Nationalgalerie is on display in Gallery 12 from 31 May – 21 Sep 2025.
