This is the time to take in as much of the arts and culture offerings out there. No excuses, schools closed and holidays have begun.

Flowers at the Saatchi Gallery is a must-see exhibition and definitely no prep required.

Immersive, inclusive, a feast for your eyes and genuinely something for everyone. Two floors, 9 gallery spaces with installations, art, photography, fashion and much more. A real feast for your eyes.

 ‘This exhibition is the result of support and effort of many people and organisations’ with the lists of roles and names included on a display panel the Saatchi Gallery highlighted the talent and skills it takes to create something so beautiful.  

Don’t forget also to visit the ‘Learning Gallery’

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

Display from the ‘Olafur Eliasson In real life’ exhibition at Tate Modern

With most exhibitions its about finding something that hits the right button, the one that gets you thinking.

The last room in the Olafur Eliasson exhibition has a video running about some of his building projects. It was this video that hit the right chord for me. It was  about Fjordenhus the building he designed in Denmark and was definitely worth watching.

For info: ‘The Weather project’ / the Sun in the Turbine Hall in 2003 was by Eliasson.

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
