Phil Fisk - Cornelia Parker / Guardian

PHIL FISK shoots CORNELIA PARKER “one of Britain's best loved and most acclaimed contemporary artists” for OBSERVER.

Cornelia is captured with her favourite work in The National Gallery - The Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck. The painting has inspired her since she was a student… “In the flesh it’s quite small but immaculately painted.”

This beautiful, mellow-hued portrait was taken in the window of calm and quiet before the gallery was open to the public. We love the subtle gestures and pose and the pale trim running from the canvas through Cornelia’s dress. Such a beautiful shot 🤩.
