TATE Britain - Water Colour

Now this weekend I went up to London - in particular to see the Susan Hiller exhibition at the Tate Britain as it turned out I ended up becoming a member so there are many more trips to Tate galleries planned for the next 15 months.

As a member I was able to get into all of the current exhibitions for free so was able to see Susan Hiller, Watercolour and Gabriel Orozco, as well as a visit to the Saatchi to see their latest exhibition.

I've got to admit that seeing this collection of shows really helped me understand why it is so important to go and actually see work and how inspiring it can be to look at work that you may not of ordinarily taken much interest in.

Watercolour

Andy Goldsworthy - Source of Scaur 1991-92

Uwe Wittwer - Ruin 2008

These water colour paintings show similar styling to the burn marks I hope to make on my benches.  Goldsworthys image on the left depicts a melted snowball but I cant help but see an image of a figure.  The Wittwer image although a watercolour reminds me of the stencil like street art we see all around us which led me the buy the book Street Art.
