Now you see it!

Now you see it.
And here we are again: about trying to write a review, not sure yet I'm going to bother with the Oxford Times... also I don't feel 100% honest now because I HAVE JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST ART PIECE... very excited about that!

Let's speak about other stuff seen tonight then... the most striking really is Julie Monaco's work called well I'm not sure how it's called actually but it is made completely from a computer: no acrylic painting, no pictures re-worked on photoshop, no: completely from the machine. Julie even went all the way to some LA image studio to learn the craft... It is like a bit of a plane that comes crashing into a stormy electronic sea or a compacted and slightly pxssxd off Japanese letter jumping out of a dark page... fascinating. Dark though, very dark, very un-human (et pour cause...) so for a bit of comfort, you can rest your eyes for a moment on Barbara Petzold's Snowberry Bride: tender touch of paint on canvas, pink colours, but it is not my favourite one of her work, I do admit I very much liked the quasi-comical and almost naive in their style, of smaller painting of people running after their dogs, or the rather melancolic green paintings, I know I know it says that the woman is in a forest, but she could well be sleeping under water, like a lorelei.

Nina Fandler's Shark Tank ... well what can I say? I wasn't too keen but many kids were... and perhaps yes, I would have loved to see her earlier works about planes, people waiting in airports...

Once again, a great exhibition organised by Gaby (no I assure you, she's not giving me money to write all this!), I very much wish I had been at the opening in the Chapel !
