London Art Openings | Pierre Bonnard and the Colour of Memory at Tate Modern

Posted on 2019-01-23 by Judith Schrut

To help us cope with the speed and stress of modern life, we’re encouraged to try slow cooking, slow tourism and slow living. Now, with its first show of the new year, Pierre Bonnard: the Colour of Memory, Tate Modern introduces us to the delightful concept of slow looking. I viewed the show, slowly, earlier this week and was completely smitten. Continue reading →

A Myriad of Marks: Dragica Carlin at Lollipop Gallery

Posted on 2015-04-12 by Madison Salters

Bubbles and bulk white walls greeted me, as The Lollipop Gallery provided its typical minimalist space to showcase the art. Set across two floors of industrialist space with plank wooden floors and the smell of sawdust, the intimate gallery has the feel of wandering into a painter’s study, rather than an exhibition of work. That personal tone was further set by there being no plaquards asride any of Carlin’s pieces, no Titles or information on mediums, a rare treat that invited guests to use their senses to understand and analyse the abstract works. Continue reading →

Yoshitomo Nara: Greeting from a Place in My Heart at Dairy Art Centre in Bloomsbury presents a great opportunity to get a good long look at art that’s as adorable as it is dastardly: like cooing over a cute cuddly kitten tearing apart a toy mouse or jotting down a nightmare on a pastel notepad.

Every Angel has a Dark Side: Julian Schnabel at the Dairy Art Centre

Posted on 2014-04-25 by tikichris

Every Angel has a Dark Side, Julian Schnabel’s first major solo exhibition of paintings in the UK for nearly 15 years, opened today at the Dairy Art Centre in Bloomsbury. The show’s on for a couple of months and if you get a chance to swing by, I reckon you shouldn’t pass it up. I certainly considered the press preview I attended Thursday morning to be the first of hopefully a few more visits at least to see this excellent and brass-necked exhibition. Continue reading →
