London Trip

During a trip to london i visited 3 galleries and 4 exhibitions. Firstly i visited the Tate Modern gallery to see the Gerhard Richter exhibition, a look at his work from the past and two of his contrasting techniques. Some pieces were working from photographs and were very detailed and precise however the other pieces were large and abstract and colourful and these were the pieces that i preferred. In the Hayward Gallery i saw the video installation exhibition by Pipilotti Rist which i found really interesting and it openeed my eyes to the way that the technique can be used. I also saw a George Condo exhibition which i liked because of the humour behind the strange and obscure paintings who he claimed to be of members of his family. Finally i visited the Saatchi Gallery where there was a German exhibition and i saw many artists that i liked. Here are just a couple i liked because of the technique, i felt it was similar to the way that i work, but there was such a variety there that i would recommend anyone to have look at the work that was there if you are in need of inspiration.

Here is the link to the exhibition website - http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/artists/germany_art/
