thought these were very interesting, jeans turning into a skirt??? Alberta Ferretti

continuing to study hands

just exploring hands over the easter holidays

acrylic on board, A1

exam media test, hands

the outlines are done in a medium called BITUMEN PAINT, usually used on iron railings and fences etc. It is very thick and gloopy, and had to be dripped off the end of a paintbrush

holly!

I used blue, pink and yellow ink to achieve these colours

finished - i love the juxtaposition of the harsh black lines and the expressive ink

a trip to the Saatchi Gallery

Spent Mothering Sunday with my lovely mother and sister up near Sloane Square at the Saatchi Gallery.

Here are some highlights

still here from when i last visited last easter - this room filled with oil by RICHARD WILSON

I love the skin tones, particularly the knees, in these pieces by EDUARDO BERLINER

ALEJANDRO OSPINA

What i found striking about this is, whilst all of his other work in this room was collaged, this had been painted. 

BORIS NZEBO

EDDY ILUNGA KAMUANGA

by far my favourite pieces in the gallery. i love the skin tones, and links well to a lot of my own work. DAWIT ABEBE

some fabulous cut outs, with the remaining woods then painstakingly painted on. my mother was a big fan of this work, by EPHREM SOLOMON

just adored the colours in these, by FEDERICO HERRERO (the paintings) and PIA CAMIL (the vases)

the wonderful texture

my absolute favourite - i love how you actually feel the perspective; the towering height of the trees makes a great impact

a series of tree related work by JORGE MAYET (the sculptures) and DIEGO MENDOZA IMBACHI (the paintings)

a massive installation // TOUT DOIT DISPARAITRE // made from 97,000 blue plastic bags

AND SOME OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS OTHER THAN THE ARTWORK:

These cups I thought were very cute

This would probably be my seat of choice if i were made of money

I mean these people are an artwork in themselves
