John Stezaker at Whitechapel

I've got a great exhibition to recommend for those of you in the old london area. The pictures are great in real life and there's masses of work to look at. John Stezaker at the Whitechapel. He works in collage and most of his stuff is from the 70s but there are a few recent pieces too. What I loved about the exhibition was that the collages all looked so effortless but striking. All of his final pieces were found imagery I think and they really worked. Definitely worth a look.

Nobrow and Celebration

So,Adrian and I went wandering around shoreditch last night for a couple of hours with the intention of going to the Nobrow private view. The artist exhibiting -Brecht Vandenbroucke made some really beautiful paintings in the show. I didn't get to take any pictures but here's some i've snagged off the Nobrow site and various other places.

When we left the private view,it was onto another exhibition in 'City,arts & music project' where there was some interesting posters all over the walls and some stuff to pick up and put in the old research log. Turned out to be a pleasant evening. Tomorrow-more exhibitions,just need to figure out which ones!

I want to see 'Rude Britannia' so badly. I've really got into comic books recently. Probably not as much as I should but I'm just starting out in my comic book interest. I've just started writing and drawing my graphic novel entry for the observers competition. I'm not going to post it up here for ages but I'm really enjoying making it. It's been nice to set myself a brief over the summer because I'm missing unversity a lot. I watched this little video on the tate britain website and thought it looked really interesting. I want to paint on walls!
