Hollywood Roosevelt by Ian Berry
As I was looking out at the sunshine today I was reminded of a wonderful piece of work by Ian Berry . I saw his work at the London Art Fair in January and was surprised to find his art pieces were made with Denim. What a nice surprise.
Looking for inspiration today as the sunshine has disappeared. I knew I would find that Light Bulb moment if I looked through my photos from past visits.
Yes and here it is.
The SerralvesFoundation, Alzaro Siza/Bulb Architecture design
February 2020 and ‘ECO-Visionaries Confronting a planet in a state of emergency’at the Royal Academy is powerful and thought provoking. I cant believe I had not heard about it earlier, but pleased to spread the message.
‘Feast For The Eyes’ The story of food in photography at the Photographers Gallery
Daniel Gordon Work. My pick is Clementines, 2011 on display at the Photographers Gallery 2019.
A stunning exhibition which is a must see for all sorts of reasons.
Well done to the creators.
Photo of Chromogenic print by Cindy Sherman on display at the National Portrait Gallery Cindy Sherman exhibition
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
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
Dorothea Tanning exhibition at Tate Modern
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.

Ocean Liners: Speed and Style at the V&A June 2018
Ocean Liners: Speed and Style at the V&A
This exhibition was a joy. It felt like a cruise in a world of beauty. Some exhibitions are thought provoking, some shocking but this one was pure pleasure. If you ever need a pick me up, its always worth scanning the cultural sector, there will always be something there for you.
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.
F1 Pit Stop/ 2007 by Andreas Gursky at the Hayward
I went to an exhibition a few months ago at the Southbank in the newly refurbished Hayward Gallery and certain images have stuck with me. That is what is so good about art and the array of cultural experiences, which surround us. They are not one off; they have an impact, can inspire, shock, ignite and often have a life beyond. Well this exhibition, the Andreas Gursky show at the Hayward came to my mind today, as I was rushing around and feeling a little under stress. The F1 Pit Stop image summed up something very important. The importance of teamwork and revisiting this image has really made me smile. I loved the exhibition.
It closes on the 22nd April and get a ticket in advance if possible or try arriving extremely early and queuing.
