Trip to Liverpool walker art gallery

On visit to Liverpool, we visited walker Art Gallery . At walker art gallery I admired the excellent photography by Paul Trevor exhibiting some deprived areas of Liverpool.

 I particular i liked this work called 'Bathers, Dieppe', by Walter Richard Sickert, 1902.

Lawrence Stephen Lowry is popular for his 'matchstick men and women', paintings of people in the industrial towns of England. I foind this particular work intresting because i show it photocopied version in one of the friends housemaid was pleased when came across the same painting at walker gallery. It is called 'The Fever Van' by L S Lowry in 1935

 

 The photography by Paul Trevor recalls the deprived areas of Liverpool of 1970

visiting British museum

 The British Museum’s significant collection over two million years of human .It is safeguarding and preserving World-famous objects such as the Rosetta stone, Parthenon sculptures, and Egyptian mummies. Visiting the exhibition and visiting Grayson Perry was motivational .we even managed to attain a small workshop.  The Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman is about   celebration of decorative art and of all those unnamed individuals who have made beautiful objects throughout history. The tapestry shows many possible pilgrimage destinations, religious and secular. It has words across from all religion caring strong meaning for example nirvana, Valhalla etc

The exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art was highlighting work of Tony Cragg.There are nearly fifty major sculptures, with some of the larger works sited in the Gallery’s grounds. The exhibition was a rare opportunity to see the range of Cragg’s extraordinary recent and new work. I am impressed by his extraordinary work.

This is work on paper and many of his work are on the paper which gives 3d effect

A wonderful opportunity exploring museums and galleries in Edinburgh

Spending few days exploring some of Edinburgh’s fascinating museums and galleries which tell stories of great writers, artists and poets from both Scotland and around the world. I made visit to The National Gallery of Scotland and the Royal Scottish Academy both has a subterranean link with each other.

I enjoyed the exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery, which is devoted to the art of Dame Elizabeth Blackadder. She is one of  the Scotland’s most popular artists. Her paintings show her   interest in watercolours , drawings,  plants and animals.this particular work of her is called orchids and pears

 

GRAYSON PERRY

Legendary artist Grayson Perry i am standing next to him, One of the memorable moments of my life.

Lost in lace

 

I am highly fascinated and surprised what lace can do & I am looking forward to use this technique in my art work.

Tate Modern London

Oil on canvas by Pablo Picasso 

I like this piece of work because he has constructed this images by using geometric planes, and represented objects from different view points.

  

                                                  

                                            Head of a Woman by Pablo Picasso

 

                                                                

Picasso made two plaster casts of the head, from which at least sixteen bronze examples were cast. I am highly impressed with his work & looking forward to use this technique in my art work.

Grayson on His Bike

Turner Prize winner Grayson Perry is to make a pilgrimage with his childhood teddy bear Alan Measles on highly decorative Kenilworth AM1 motorcycle, with a shrine on the back for his teddy bear for his inaugural voyage to Germany. Grayson dressed as a young girl ("puffy sleeves, big petticoats, white frilly socks"). Perry has designed certain aspects of the machine himself, including wing-nuts with teddy bear details. He had  spent his  troubled childhood in suburban Essex creating a fantasy life where he fought off the brutish invading Germans, under the command of his teddy bear Alan Measles, a plucky wartime Resistance leader who became his hero, a sort of personal God and the embodiment of everything that was good about masculinity. This inaugural voyage, 10 Days of Alan, takes them across Bavaria on a mission of reconciliation with their old enemies.

 

This programme was great help into the great minds of today’s work, the idea of creating a god like character is amazing and inspiring. I am eager to meet him.
