21 days in TAMIL NADU

November 2, 2016 by Art & Photography

I spent most of October in Tamil Nadu, India, celebrating Navaratri, festival of the Divine Mother (Durga Shakti). We were based at the foot of Arunachala holy mountain, one of the five most sacred places in India. A last minute trip, yet this turned out to be my most memorable life experience to date – Tamil Nadu is magical and the people are extraordinary. Here is a tiny taster of some of my favourite moments… click to enlarge & scroll… Namaste ∞

Note the highly conceptual approach to this work, reminding me of Craig-Martin’s American contemporary Bruce Nauman, both born in 1941. This is a very special minimalist piece, even the title matches Nauman’s matter-of-fact style in […]

August 4, 2016 by Art & Photography

I checked out Bristol Museum & Art Gallery while I was in town, and am really glad that I took the time. I’m a big fan of Victor Pasmore’s work, here’s a couple of beautiful pieces I found at this particular gallery… Relief Construction 1961, Victor Pasmore This is the only 3D Victor Pasmore work that I’ve seen in person, and loved it instantly – architectural in form, and reminiscent of Le Corbusier’s influence during the 60’s; “The history of […]

Actual TOAF

August 1, 2016 by Art & Photography

So this was my actual stand at The Other Art Fair Bristol 2016, after 6 hours of step aerobics… and a 33 degree heat, it’s harder than it looks… but massively rewarding to have done my first hang… and to experience my first art fair… although I’m still recovering from the whole experience! I spend most of my time in relative isolation (most artists do), in order to get things done, so imagine the contrast of a very busy art […]
