What would it be like to take a long hard look at your own brain? 🧠
Brain of the Artist is a series of cross sections of Palmer’s brain made by an MRI scanner and etched onto 16 sheets of glass. But how exactly was it made, and why?
In this episode of Your Art, Unlocked, writer and journalist Susan Mansfield visits @nationalgalleriesscot to unlock a very intimate self portrait by @angelaspalmer.
Join Susan as she chats to Imogen Gibbon, Head of Portraiture and Photography and Chief Curator at the National Galleries of Scotland, about what makes this work such an unusual portrait, and hear from Angela Palmer about why she finds the brain so endlessly fascinating.
Your Art, Unlocked is produced by Art UK and supported by @bloombergconnects.

Happy birthday L. S. Lowry, born on this day in 1887 🎈
This painting of a well-dressed man taking a break in the middle of the city is one of hismost iconic works.
💬 Lowry said that 'People...refuse to believe me when I tell them I saw a man dressed just like that, doing just that, from the top of a bus in Haslingden, Rossendale, Lancashire.'
👉 You can find many Lowry prints on the Art UK Shop, shop at shop.artuk.org
