Thought I'd just write a little about what I've been up to over Christmas and some of the exciting exhibits I've been to with a couple of weeks to kill in London! (Dont worry I got a lot of shopping in as well...)
I've been to a few exhibits, first Rob Ryan’s exhibit "The Stars Shine All Day Too" at the Air Gallery, Dover Street. He is an artist I have followed for years who works only with paper to create amazing cut out scenes in minute detail. His work is very delicate and usually has a very floral, delicate and feminine feel. He uses scalloped edges and lots of flowers and little pretty motifs to decorate the image and as the images he depicts are usually from his imagination the scenes look like something from a fairy tale and look almost a little bit magic. This exhibit in particular had a magical feel as all the pieces had stars within them, whether they be above a little fairytale village, or as a seat for lovers to sit on in the sky. I loved the exhibit and left feeling amazed at how good Ryan's eyesight and how sturdy his hand must be to cut out paper in such an intricate way. It also showed me just what can be done with simple materials and that paper is more than just for writing and printing!
