Happy 2015!! I love looking ahead so I have been looking at any great exhibitions coming up. Not the ones with my work in it - necessarily - but the big ones at the major public galleries. Lots of newspapers do this but just like everybody else I never agree with their selection! In 2014 there were some real blockbuster exhibitions. I don’t always get to go because of time restraints (I have a young family so sometimes Rembrandt has to make way for Paddington Bear) but I really enjoyed the ‘Wedding Dresses’ exhibition at the V&A last year, as well as the major Veronese exhibition at the National Gallery. Of course the BP Portrait Award 2014 was a big one for me personally. I really wanted to see the Rembrandt exhibition but I simply ran out of time and had to skip it. I am no big exhibition-goer, but I am a wannabe. In no particular order I hope to see at least some of these promising exhibitions in 2015. Which ones would you recommend and have I missed? Sargent.

LOVELY-and would make a great Christmas card image too :-)
ReplyDeleteRe your last post, I'm trying to be an Art Historian as well as an artist/designer too.....I have always loved the PRB, for their incredibly interesting lives as well as some of their paintings (Burne_Jones-especially The tree of Foregiveness- and Waterhouse, second and third wave PRB's are my favourites) I loved the dissertation for my last degree, based on Rosetti's pictures and relationships. Unfortunatly OU 20th century art should be renamed 20th century art criticism, that is not as interesting as the Art itself (!!!!!) due to the density of Art critics language.It's interesting and now Iunderstand the background to weverything but can't wait to return to my Victorian heroes one day.....
Thank you for your kind comments about my lace designs....my final boards related to Oriental subjects (butterflies antique textiles etc )are under June/May posts). I have never tried portraits bar one years ago from aphotograph. Is this one done from a photo too?
Absolutely in love with this piece. It is simply wonderful!!
