Here I will present the exhibitions I have seen and will share my “coups de coeur” ! Enjoy!
All Harry Potter’s fans will love it: the permanent exhibition that showcases the sets, costumes, props from the films and provides many opportunities to dive into the world of magic! It takes place in the Warner Bros Studio in Leavesden, near London. Want to know more? Read on…
Lazinc Gallery is currently showcasing some of Banksy’s greatest artwork. It gives the opportunity to discover this singular (street) artist who combines art with expression. Don’t miss it!
The quality of the Tate Britain’s exhibitions is not to be questioned. In my opinion, the current one “Impressionists in London 1870-1904” is as interesting and well-documented as the previous ones. And if you like Impressionism, you will love it!
A first exhibition exploring the history of self-expression and the creativity related to it. I definitely recommend this exhibition to anyone who likes to be questioned and surprised by all forms of Art!
The best thing about the Victoria & Albert Museum is that their choices of exhibitions are always surprising. From Fashion, Photography, Architecture to Music icons, you never know what will be the next topic … And this unexpected Pink Floyd exhibition is definitely a must see in London for all nostalgic fans (and curious ones!) : you’ll be thrilled by its quality!
Alberto Giacometti was one of the great painter-sculptors of the 20th century. His singular Art always moves me. I like the way Giacometti was in constant search for new ways of expressing movement or feelings in his art. I was literally captivated by the sculptures and paintings I saw at The Tate Modern, some of which I discovered for the first time.
There is a new exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts: “America after the Fall, painting in the 1930s”, showing how artists responded to the american social and economic changes in the 1930s. This is a great opportunity to see some paintings and artists we can rarely admire. I was very pleased to see how well designed and organized this event was, with focuses on several aspects of these important changes in the 1930s. Let me present you the paintings that I found particularly moving.
David Hockney is so famous that almost everyone has seen at least one of this artist’s paintings in their life. But at the same time, it is quite hard to define David Hockney’s style, as the painter has evolved technically and artistically during the last decades.
David Hockney’s exhibition at the Tate Britain is said to be the “fastest-selling one in the Tate’s history” and presents an extensive selection of the artist’s works. Let’s discover David Hockey’s first retrospective since 1988…
Ok, let’s pretend January is not as blue as it is at the moment… Here is an idea where to spend a good time, especially if you are fond of photography. Go to the Tate Modern and ask for the Sir Elton John’s Modernist Photography Collection. You’ll see masterpieces of photography there! And at the same time, you’ll discover the Tate’s new building. Follow the guide…
This is a must-see exhibition, which is being held at the National Portrait Gallery until next February. Picasso must have been the most prolific artist of his time and portraits represent a large part of his work, wether caricatures, portraits of relatives or self-portraits. The selection of great portraits made by the Portrait Gallery depicts Picasso’s evolution in pictural styles and enhances at the same time the important role of women in the artist’s life. Don’t miss it…you’d regret it!
