A closer look at ‘Winter 1909’ Kandinsky

Finding Kandinsky in St Petersburg was pure pleasure. Its funny how something ignites you to want to find out more, to want to investigate the image and provides you with butterflies inside. A different location and a different landscape is a good starting point for a creative adventure.

Approaching art and culture with no preconceptions and just being curious is the perfect starting point.

Finding the right button to press is what most of us are looking for and the world of art in whatever form is one place to find it.

Feeling low? I recommend a coffee first and a trip to the National Portrait Gallery, nice and early, no crowds, no long queues and an opportunity to stand back and soak in an array of beautiful imagery.

Although a charged exhibition, its money worth spending. There will definitely be a photograph, which will take your breadth away. That’s what I look out for. I am not a long browser contemplating every label.

Art provides an opportunity to inspire, ignite and take you on a variety of journeys.

‘Creation from Catastrophe, How architecture can rebuild communities’ was my cultural visit today. An exhibition on the ground floor of the RIBA building, which is a very calming environment with an amazing shop and filled to capacity with inspiring content.

‘Designing for resilience exhibition’ on the upper floor shows proposals from the rebuild following Hurricane Sandy.

Spaces and people, an opportunity to be really creative.

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.
