Behind the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street I was surprised to find the wonderful Marian Goodman art gallery. Calming and intriguing. This exhibit, ‘Camel (Albino) Contemporary Needle by John Baldessari a Californian artist, is a creative interpretation of a Christian parable and metaphor for the difficulties of the rich in gaining entry into heaven.

The gallery spaces and choice of exhibits work so well.

Camden Arts Centre booklet and more

A wonderful sunny day at the Camden Arts Centre, a venue with friendly staff, a great place to have coffee and most of all an opportunity to see some thought provoking art.

The ‘Making and Unmaking’ exhibition presently on display shows a wide selection of work which has an intimate British Museum feel. Wonderful colour, an array of materials and textures all from a diverse mix of artists. A great space to enjoy and exhibit artwork, with a perfect garden for a sunny afternoon. Dana Huddleston and Mrinalini Mukherjee were artists that definitely caught my eye.

Art for everyone in North London.

No photography is presently allowed in the exhibition ‘Making & Unmaking An exhibition curated by Duro Olowu’ but a visit to the website will give you a good taster.

Jeff Lowe at the Pangolin London Gallery.

The big question, what draws you in and what is it about an art piece which makes you stop, think and enjoy?

This piece distracted me from all the other busy Easter weekend jobs that need to be done. It made me smile as my eyes followed the tubes looking for the start and end.

Unfortunately I did not make a note of the name of this piece but recommend a visit to see the work of Jeff Lowe.
