My Wow moment

Some images just stick with you following an exhibition and this one has with me. I originally planned to go to the BP Portrait Award 2019 but when I arrived I was struck by the Cindy Sherman poster. I took the plunge, got my ticket and went in to see the show. It was well worth the visit as so many of the photographs were impactful and emotional. This was definitely my Friday treat.

I needed a strong coffee after this show so another visit is definitely planned for the Portrait Award exhibition

Follow your Passion

 

Vincent Van Gogh Pollard Willows at Sunset Arles March 1888. On display at Tate Britain 2019

I learnt a lot about Vincent Van Gogh in this exhibition at Tate Britain and left being reminded Not to Give up and follow your passion.

A really good summary of Van Gogh’s experience in London and the impact of Van Gogh’s art and life on British artists up to the 1950s

 

my renaissance

After a 5 month gap I have decided to reignite and update my cultural updates. I am still a novice with the web world but having an opportunity to record the creative and inspiring opportunities out there it seems only right to spread the word.

Its wonderful how a work of art can provide that ‘feel good factor’.

A visit to the National Portrait Gallery  and Tate Modern was a real treat.

Abstract in White,Green,Black,Red,Grey c 1963 and Pink by Victor Pasmore

My visit to the Tate this weekend was initially to see the Picasso exhibition. Following this show I decided to take a wander and see if I could find any new and hidden gems.

Well to no surprise I found a piece for me. Suspended in mid air ‘but going somewhere’’ was what this piece said to me.

The Victor Pasmore ‘Abstract in White Green, Black, Red, Grey and Pink’ definitely brings ideas of growth and abstract harmony into three dimensions / referenced on the Tate label.

A great trip and as always there is something about art which stays with you.
