Exhibition Review

We went to the Hayward Gallery to help us get some ideas for our A2 Graphics exam project. It was an enjoyable and interesting day, the whole I pretty much focused on just one particular artist named, James Dellar. His work was varied and consisted of political documentaries, exhibitions of British Folk art and the fusion of Acid House and Brass Bands. This fusion piece was called Acid Brass and the birth of the idea came from a mind map which connected the links between both the genres of music. I decided I like this idea of combining two opposites and am inspired by his creativity.

This is his piece, 'Acid Brass' I think its an amazing piece. Its not your every day piece of artwork and it reminds me of a mindmap of ideas. The way music is described and displayed on this piece is incredible, and its greatly inspiring as I have a strong passion for music! During the trip here, we were able to visit the artists bedroom and look through slides and holes and see pieces of his work.
           On a whole, the exhibition was a great experience for me, I am left inspired and influenced by James Dellar and I greatly appreciate his work.
