Royal Academy: ALLEN JONES

Hyper-centered around female body in a sexy way. A very unique and consistent technique of hyper-perfectionist painting skills. Both painting and sculptures. Very colorful, a lot of red and pink. Surrealism.











Barbican: CONSTRUCTING WORLDS


"Constructing Worlds: Photography and Architecture in the Modern Age"

Personally don't like architecture, BUT  this exhibition made me change my mind on it! I fell in love with the geometry of black and white photos of concrete structures - photos have four straight line endges, which frame photographs containing straight lines as well! Magnificent! So many photographs as well, that I spent nearly four hours in the exhibition.

Barbican: WALEAD BESHTY

"A Partial Disassembling of an Invention Without a Future: Helter-Skelter and Random Notes in Which the Pulleys and Cogwheels Are Lying Around at Random All Over the Workbench"

Overwhelmingly large. Single colour makes you focus on the objects represented themselves. Easy to see. Took me 2 hours to examine the whole wall even though it was only about 200m long.
