A few beautiful days spent walking, taking hundreds of photographs and drinking great beer.

Now back to work and to way to many projects!…as usual.

The tomb of the unknown craftsman

The first exhibition I visited this year has been Grayson Perry’s The tomb of the unknown craftsman, at The British Museum. It was a great way to start the year, and I am looking forward to more inspiring exhibitions.

It consists of a selection of Perry’s work, alongside artwork from the British Museum collection, chosen by Perry himself to explores different “themes connected with the notions of craftsmanship and sacred journeys”.*

It is a celebration of the physical act of making art and of the created object, it is a celebration of ideas and materials, and above all, a celebration of the artist as a craftsperson.

I have found it incredibly touching and inspiring. I strongly recommend it to anyone who appreciate arts, crafts and history.

It is still on, till the 26th of February.

Shadows of pictures to come

I’m experimenting with ideas, using black and white photography, and thinking about huge canvasses.

Creatures, black & white and stripes…back into familiar territory.

At least for a little while.
