Exhibition on Screen: Renoir & Love

Exhibition on Screen: Renoir & Love is coming to Showroom Cinema in January, bringing the work of Pierre-Auguste Renoir to the big screen. It's part of the Exhibition on Screen series, which makes films about galleries and artists for cinema audiences. This season returns with brand-new feature films about some of the world's best-loved artists, each one a cinematic journey into their personal and creative lives.

This instalment focuses on Renoir, a founding member of the Impressionist movement and one of the world's most popular painters. He's described as a master of colour and a constantly evolving painter, unmatched at depicting human connection. The film documents a show that gathers his vibrant masterpieces exploring love in all its forms, so the whole thing centres on that one theme.

It's a proper collaboration, too. The film was directed by Ali Ray and made in close partnership with The National Gallery in London and the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the two galleries that provided the work. Having both of them involved means the film can draw from two of the biggest collections of his work in the world, rather than just one.

There are three screenings to choose from at Showroom Cinema, 15 Paternoster Row, S1 2BX: Tuesday 19 January at 18:00, Saturday 23 January at 11:30, and Sunday 24 January at 14:15. If you're not usually one for the gallery, this is a way to see the work on a cinema screen instead.
