CHARLELIE EXHIBITION @ NANCY 10.12.14

"Inspiration comes from everywhere"- Charlelie

Charlelie's work is explained in no other way than incredible. This was an exhibition that I visited last year and one that is never far from my thoughts... Charlelie is a french artist who has permanently moved to New York creating utterly spectacular art work. He mixes photography and painting whilst also expressing himself through sculpture, writing and music. I loved the way he intertwines his photographic visuals with extension painting creating such exciting and alive art. His New York industrial landscapes have such a buzz to them, with so much movement, life, noise, and arousal of the senses... you can almost smell those cinnamon pretzels chilling on the street food stands.

INNER CITY OOZ, Jack & Archy Marshall

Visited: 24.09.14 'The brain is an industrial soundscape'-Archy Marshall I visited this gallery last September, it was displaying from the 5-27th and one of the COOLEST and most interesting exhibitions that I have seen. Jack and Archy Marshall aka Mistr Gone and King Krule displayed their exhibition here at the Display Gallery, the first of music, visual art and performances marking their arrival as a new, original and real voice in the world of contempo, topical and uber modern art. Mistr Gone is an artist from South East London who works with painting, illustration, drawing and photography. Within his work he tries to recapture and achieve the magic and fascination of a daily normal routine. His art is a continuous study of everyday life. He has created all the cover art for King Krule's albums who is a singer, producer and songwriter from South East London.

MUSEE PICASSO PARIS 15.11.14

'I don't believe in accidents. There are only encounters in history. There are no accidents.' 'I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.' 'Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.' 'Learn the rules like a pro, you you can break them like an artist.' 'If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... but surely you will see the wildness.' PICASSO An artist's philosophy can start to be unraveled in the things that they say and what they regard as important. Visiting the Picasso Museum in Paris back last November, I came to realise the extraordinary amount of work that Picasso had created and churned out throughout his life and the array of very different styles throughout his course of painting and creation. Picasso, most known for his cubist period, was an artist not only of talent, but also of intelligence, being able to adapt his style and work, keeping up w

JEFF KOONS EXHIBITION

CENTRE POMPIDOU, PARIS Visited: 15.02.15 Whilst in Paris a few weeks ago, I couldn't resist the temptation to pop along to the current Jeff Koons exhibition showing at the Centre Pompidou. I had known Koons to be the artist/ sculptor of the iconic balloon dog but had never seen any of his works and since his balloon dog (which appears a shiny, plastic balloon when in fact being a stainless steel sculpture) was sold in 2013 for a staggering £36 million, becoming the world record auction price for a living artist I thought it would be worth checking out his work with the naked eye. The Inflatable series The Inflatables is seen by Koons as his first series which he created with blow up toys that he had bought from discount stores in New York which are displayed and positioned on mirrors. His fascination with inflatable objects is demonstrated by the use of mirrors reflecting not only a double angled vision encore of them but also ourselves..
