One-minute blog of interesting things

rss iconSubscribe to my blog

As a working contemporary artist I visit many exhibitions and shows, but sometimes it is the things I see that are part of daily life that capture my interest. My one-minute blog of interesting things reflects the fact that although we are increasingly time-poor, there is creativity all around us.


Bruce Nauman at Tate Modern

18/01/2021

Another Tate exhibition I visited before our current lock-down was Bruce Nauman at Tate Modern. I’ve been determined to see as much as possible whenever permitted and the galleries I’m a member of tend to have taken priority. As usual I can only mention a fraction of pieces on show so here goes. Whilst focussing […]

Lynette Yiadom Boakye at Tate Britain

11/01/2021

Another temporary casualty of lock-down, Fly in League with the Night is the evocative title of Lynette Yiadom Boakye’s solo show at Tate Britain and is a glorious feast of painting. A friend introduced me to her work several years ago but this is the first time I’d seen so many of her paintings in […]

Chila Kumari Singh Burman – the Winter commission at Tate Britain

04/01/2021

As we enter 2021 I really wanted to post something optimistic and uplifting. Neon looks at its best in the dark but I was happier cycling on a chilly grey morning to see the exuberant and joyful Tate Britain winter commission by Chila Kumari Singh Burman, open for all to enjoy even while all museums […]

New prints by Cornelia Parker at Cristea Roberts

14/12/2020

Combining deliveries with gallery visits seems to have been a thing recently which I’ve been happy to make the most of. I’m a big fan of Cornelia Parker so this show of new prints at Cristea Roberts was a treat. Using the early photographic technique of calotype first discovered by Henry Fox Talbot she plays […]

The Winter show at St. Saviour’s, London

08/12/2020

This is the first time I’ve shown work in real life since March so I’m very excited to be part of this mixed exhibition organised by Modern Eccentrics at St. Saviour’s. Work by 15 artists includes textiles, installation, photography and painting. As ever the photos below give an indication of what’s there and are by […]

Howard Hodgkin at Hazlitt-Holland-Hibbert Gallery

30/11/2020

Howard Hodgkin is one of those names that I’ve grown up with yet I think I’ve only ever seen one or two of his paintings together in real life at any one time. So walking past Hazlitt-Holland-Hibbert Gallery after delivering a painting on the eve of the second lock-down offered me the perfect opportunity to […]

Artemisia at the National Gallery

23/11/2020

I visited this remarkable exhibition of Artemisia Gentileschi at the National Gallery just after it opened. We went round it twice as couldn’t go back on ourselves for reasons of distancing and I’m aiming to see it again. I’ve focussed here on a couple of paintings including one of Gentileschi’s most famous, the incredible Judith […]

Mary Wollstonecraft at Newington Green

16/11/2020

After at least 10 years of efforts, a statue to commemorate the founding feminist philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft, has finally been unveiled. I live in the area and saw it the day of the installation, dazzling in the autumn sunlight. At first sight it confused me: the small figure of a naked woman on a roiling […]

Toyin Ojih Odutola at Barbican Curve

09/11/2020

Listen as well as look at this intriguing exhibition Toyin Ojih Odutola’s A Countervailing Theory at the Barbican Curve where Peter Adjaye’s three-part soundscape forms the soundtrack to this narrative. A collection of large monochrome drawings recount the myth of an ancient African society. I’ve included some (slightly bleached out due to the low lighting […]

Terra Nexus at Proposition Studios

02/11/2020

There is way too much here to encapsulate in a one-minute read so I encourage you to follow the links below to learn more. Curated by Gabriella Sonabend, Terra Nexus, at Proposition Studios, is a journey through a labyrinth of 17 rooms created by 25 artists, each a personal vision questioning the role of “The […]
