The Triumph of painting
I visited The triumph of painting an exhibitions on loan from the Saachi Gallery.
We looked at a lot of the pictures and read the words that generally go with them. This is a new way at looking at art for me because I just normally look at the picture and make up my own decisions about what it's on.
I found it quite interesting because in some cases such as
Ena Swansea's world wide web
2004, oil and graphite on linen, 198 x 305cm
which is described by "Hovering between reality and fantasy they convey a ruptured sense of time and place where her female characters project an awareness of their own fragility, yet remain invulnerable. "
I honestly thought this as a description is a load of waffle that means nothing to me personally. Looking at this picture you could talk about the mother hood and the idea of children's going off in odd directions or not being able to hold on the maternal bonds for ever. But this doesn't mean I Don't like this picture. I find really quite nice which is probably but not the aim but hay.
there where other images in the exhibitions which caught my attention such as Dawn by Till Gerhard, Michael Readecker, Barney Furnas and Tal R
