Imagined Lives: portraits of unknown people – National Portrait Gallery

Posted on January 1, 2012January 26, 2012 by worldcityguides

In this exhibition you can see paintings of unidentified persons. Some of the painting are thought to be of famous people from history such as Queen Elizabeth I, the young pretender to the throne Lady Arabella Stuart, and the poet and courtier Sir Thomas Overbury. But, these suggestions are much debated. Take a look yourself and make up your own opinion.

The exhibition can be seen in the National Portrait Gallery in London between December 3rd, 2011 and July 22nd, 2012.

David Tremlett Drawing for Free Thinking – Tate Britain

Posted on September 26, 2011January 26, 2012 by worldcityguides

This information is part of the official information from the Tate Britain webpage:
“Drawing for Free Thinking is a new wall drawing for Tate Britain, designed to wrap around the Manton stairwell. Inspired by the long tradition of twentieth-century constructivism and by David Tremlett’s involvement in conceptual art in the 1970s, Drawing for Free Thinking consists of broad blocks of strong colour, straight lines, squares and rectangles. It explores floor plans and architectural features the artist has encountered at the gallery such as doorways or windows abstracted into geometric shapes. Tremlett and his team of assistants work with pastel crayons which they rub directly onto the wall with the palms of their hands.”
