Well my family have returned to Australia, I am now recovered from pharyngitis and various complications. Went to the RA Summer Exhibition in London and had a super super time. The following artists were particularly of interest:
Julio Brujis - Takayama (Collaged Photographic Prints); Guy Sargent - Place des Heros, Arras (Architectural Photograph); Richard Kirwan (Giclee print)
Anthony Whishaw RA (Acrylics) Anthony Eyton RA (very much enjoyed his oils - particularly Two Rock Forms, Uluru), Tom Phillips RA The Remains of the Day I & II - oils which had been cut into sections and re-applied to the background like a mosaic) + his epson & silkscreen works ; Keith Tyson's Deep Impact; works by Barbara Rae RA; prints from Bill Jacklin RA; Jim Dine; Melvyn Petterson; Norman Ackroyd RA (St Kilda - Soay and the Cambir Etching was particularly appealing); Rob Ryan, Sir Nicholas Grimshaw PRA; Eileen Cooper RA; Max Marschner (White Dog - photo etching); Jennifer Dickson RA; Anthony Frost's abstracts (just been reading his recent interviews); Celadon vessels from Edmund De Waal who I also saw in Middlesborough but who Catherine reminds me is the author of the Hare with the Golden Eyes which is my next read. Back to the exhibition with stunning works by Ed Ruscha of Ghost Station a mixografia print on handmade paper a snip at £11,700 and wonderful; and Anselm Keifer. What a great thing it is to have all these artists together! I could go on but ... just to say that it was really good to see Paul Hipkiss' relief print of Towanroach Pumping Engine House from Chapel Porth Beach. But where were submissions from my tutors?
