Recognition
Premiered and Exhibited at Frederiksburg Castle, Copenhagen from May - June 2016.
In December 2015, Eiffel started following the British artist Jonathan Yeo as he prepared for his largest exhibition to date at The Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle, Denmark, which opened in March 2016.
His latest works, which feature in this film, would see him painting the likes of the former Danish Prime Minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, the actor and model Cara Delevingne, who he painted a series of portraits of over an eighteen month period, and the actor Kevin Spacey, whose portrait of him playing the role of President Underwood from the Netflix series House of Cards was unveiled at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC in February 2016.
In this film, which was specially commissioned by the Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle to accompany the exhibition ‘Jonathan Yeo Portraits’, Yeo gives insight into the various themes he is exploring in his latest works and provides a rare glimpse into his studio practice and what it takes to make an exhibition of this scale possible.
Jonathan Yeo Studio and Studio Eiffel would like to thank Netflix for their kind permission to reproduce the footage of the unveiling of ‘Kevin Spacey as Frank Underwood’.
