Weekend Manchester





Just got back from a weekend in Manchester. Checking out the street art and other contemporary art. Saw some really funny work from Grayson Perry. First time I saw something of him and I am a fan already! One picture was absolutely brilliant! He painted a picture, sort of landscape scenery which could have been an ancient battle 300 years ago, with very fine pen lines. But when you came closer he displayed a lot of common groups or types of people. Examples: Kapitalists, Northeners, working class, etc. Absolutely hilarious! See pictures.



Further, I saw some very interesting work of Stephen Farley in Artzu Gallery. Pictures of his work doesn't do it any good. Seeing it in real life makes his work much more interesting, because he works with resin to make his paintings. The depth of these paintings are lost when making pictures.


And saw some street art, while walking ....
