Exhibitions...

I've had a very very busy summer this year, and between traveling, performing and tour with the band, I haven't had a huge amount of time to go to galleries and shows. But I did manage to find some interesting things, and visit an amazing show in London.

I've never been to paris and just walking round I thought it was a beautiful city. From the Arc de Triomphe to the streets of the Shanzelize. But while I was in Paris I thought it would be a trip wasted if I didn't go to the Louvre. So had a little look around, and of course saw the Mona Lisa. In such a large room with what felt like hundreds of people all cramming around, I struggled to see what was so amazing about the painting. Eventually I squeezed myself right to the front, and there it stood, the Mona Lisa. Still don't get it, don't even think its that great compared to other work.
What I did see in Paris which I liked a lot was one of Invader's (http://www.space-invaders.com/) pieces. It has suffered and is not in fantastic condition, but seeing one in his home streets was pretty cool.

Something else I saw was a small exhibition of Nathan Wyburn, you might know him as the Marmite guy from Britain's Got Talent. It only consisted of about five pieces but each were quite good, certainly made me smile.

My favourite however has to be Diva Zappa's 'Bruce' exhibition. Hidden away in Maison Bertaux on Greek Street, Soho, Diva's work hung beautifully. The mixed use of photography with wool looked beautiful. 

Probably helps that I'm a huge fan of her Dad's music...but have a look at some of the work from the exhibition here.
