The Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle

This retrospective of Jonathan Yeo’s work features some of Yeo’s most iconic sitters, who are leaders in their field of expertise, ranging across the arts, fashion, politics, and business. 

Sitters include: Jude Law, Sir Michael Parkinson, Erin O’Connor, Malala Yousafzai, Doreen Lawrence OBE, and Grayson Perry. A range of studies and sketches will also go on show, to provide a comprehensive resumé of Yeo’s artistic career, spanning over two decades. In addition, the Laing will unveil a number of new paintings, which have never been displayed publicly before, depicting illustrious sitters.
