Fine Art

so what your saying is it's not UCI legal

was that a doln used as the mould ?

I've been meaning to go to the da Vinci exhibition at the Queen's gallery, whilst this collection contains his studies of anatomy and not exactly art for arts sake, I reckon it can be considered fine art if you'd like it to.

Seen the Da Vinci exhibition in Singapore, s'okay.

Mind boggling work; http://thehandsofgenius.com/

I saw his work, last year at Clarendon Gallery.... mind boggling. (plus a personal friend of mine) (boast post)
I think he is displaying somewhere in Chiswick at the moment....

wow sooo small

I expected Paul Smith to demand a Mercian ... Will ask Charming what he used and revert. Looks to me like a Leader 725 but without the crimps at the top of the seat tube, maybe cutting corners in fabrication.

^I don't understand :(

The crumpled silver rider who's just gone over the handlebars and is now installed in a corner of the gallery is not pictured.

Also recommend John Currin

First saw him at the saatchi in the young americans 2 show in 1998, then again as part of hirst's murderme show in 2006. An interesting 1940's burlesque style.

Another painter I admire is Richard Patterson:

Now that would be brilliant ! :)

^^ Real couple of Saatchi links there Rive Gauche... Patterson was - of course in Saatchi's Sensation show at the RA. I loved his stuff. Brilliant show at Anthony Reynolds in the 90s, which had a real influence on me at Art School.

didn't want to mention sensation, as too outre, but very enjoyable nonetheless ;)

Francesca Lowe launches her beautiful new show of 'bookcuts' tonight upstairs at Riflemaker in soho. Well worth a look if you're passing over the next month.

Shameless self promo time again. I gone and curated a show called The Hair Of The Dog which opens at the end of the month at Block 336 in Brixton. Info here:

South of the River, though...

Who's going to see Pre-Raphaelites then?

Me, next weekend. Planning an awesome day where I pretend to have an opinion on art.

I might go there next Sunday. I'd go tomorrow, but £14 is too much for me right now :-)

Looking forward to the Barbican's 'Everything Was Moving' photography show

And the 'Experimenta' thread of the London film Festival. Lots of artists moving image, unclassifiable..esp. Nathaniel Dorksy's 16mm stuff.

Went to the new Bronze exhibition with work last week at the royal academy.

very very good

Can help, but think that they are overstyled. Still good.

Similar to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PiHKAL - except Alexander Shulgin was too zipped and preoccupied with changing the acceptable face of leisure/entertainment through his life-project to paint pretty pictures.
