Navigating Conviction in the Arts

Christopher Le Brun has been President of the Royal Academy of Art, London since 2011. He is also a renowned artist exhibiting his work in many major museums, including Tate, Museum of Modern Art in New York, British Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and others. The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Yale Center for British Art acquired paintings for their collections. Trained at the Slade and Chelsea Schools of Art in London, Christopher was a double prizewinner at the John Moores Liverpool exhibitions (1978 & 1980) and shortly thereafter began to appear in many group exhibitions, such as the Venice Biennale (1980) and the influential Zeitgeist (1982) at Martin-Gropius Bau, Berlin. His public monumental sculptures have been installed around London. Between 1990 and 2005 Christopher served as a trustee of the Tate, the National Gallery and Dulwich Picture Gallery. He was one of the founding trustees of the Royal Drawing School, which he helped to establish in London in 2000. He was also the first Professor of Drawing at the Royal Academy. Christopher Le Brun brings multiple perspectives on ethics and the arts as artist, art educator, and artist institution leader. Welcome to my conversation with Christopher Le Brun.
