Adebanji Presents “Decoding DaVinci on The One Show, BBC One.

by Adebanji

This is for my international audience and those who might have missed this when it was aired on the 1st of February, 2019 on The One Show.

I really enjoyed this film because I was able to see the original Leonardo drawings right up close in the flesh. He was an addictive sketcher -so I used the experience to gain some real “master – student” infusion of inspiration. You can’t even imagine how thrilled I was to get my eyes and hands on his ORIGINALS!!!!!!

I visited the Royal collection in Windsor accompanied by Martin Clayton, The Leonardo Specialist, who oversees the 550 Leonardo Da Vinci drawings. We also visited the Diamond Light Research Centre located at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire.

At The Diamond Light Research Centre, Leonardo’s drawings were put through a synchrotron to reveal hidden features in the Masters work. While at the Royal Collection the drawings were put under an Infra Red light. The results in both were mind-blowing!

An exhibition is going all round the country at the moment- CLICK HERE for details.

I also put my acrylic painting of Leonardo Da Vinci, through an Infra Red light at the Royal Collection and it revealed all my initial sketches in charcoal and the grid lines too….not something I would have loved to reveal….

I hope you enjoy this short film…..

This is for my international audience and for those here in the UK, who may have missed this short clip when it was aired on The One Show (BBC One) on 19/12/17.
Last year I discovered that the most popular stamp in the world with the image of the Queen was sculpted by Arnold Machin OBE. It’s been 50 years since the first one was used. I met his nephew, Dominic Newton, who shed more light on Machin’s amazing work.
After this I worked on a collage with Royal Mail workers to celebrate it, at The Royal Academy.
Hope you enjoy this.
