George Shaw-Tate Shots

George Shaw

I finally went to check out the George Shaw show 'Neither My Arse Nor My Elbow' at the Douglas Hyde Gallery. The paintings were atmospheric, dark and beautiful, I love how he paints. George Shaw has become well known for his pictures of the English housing estate where he grew up in the 1970s. Highly detailed and naturalistic, they are normally painted with Humbrol enamels, which are more commonly used to colour model aircraft. In 2011, following a major exhibition at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead, he was short-listed for the Turner Prize.

Milton Avery

Milton Avery 1885-1965 was an American modern painter. Avery's work is seminal to American abstract painting—while his work is clearly representational, it focuses on color relations and is not concerned with creating the illusion of depth as most conventional Western painting since the Renaissance has.

Dior Fall 2013 Collection

The Château de Versailles, emblem of Dior’s tradition, hosts a new tale which brings to life the Dior Fall 2013 Collection. You might remember Dior’s short film shot last year in Versailles well the sequel has just been released for Dior’s viral campaign for the 2013 fall collection. This spring’s “Secret Garden 2 – Versailles” is once again filed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin and is set in the forest outside the Petit Trianon. Inspired by Edouard Manet’s famous “Luncheon on the Grass” painting, it is more in one with nature as model Daria Stokous flees through the Versailles grounds and finds herself with models Melissa Stasiuk and Xiao Wen in the depth of Christian Dior’s secret garden

I Followed You To The Sun- Tracey Emin

With a somewhat brutal realness, artist (and YBA member) Tracey Emin confronts her viewers with work that is provocative, personal—and stakes claim to a sizeable piece of feminist-advised contemporary art landscape. She works in a variety of media, choosing to work in a combination of sculpture, painting and installation. Her most recent body of work hinges on ideas of self-discovery, reflection and vulnerability. An installation of quiet, pleading text-based sculptures rest on tables surrounded by raw, harshly expressionist gouache drawings.
